Please go to a real doctor.

I did PT but this only resolved it about 80 percent. It goes away on its own over time...takes up to 2 years.

I went to ortho Virginia in Ashburn. There is a shoulder specialist there. He does hydrodilation and sends you to a chiropractor specialist for intense manipulation.
It is a very intense procedure 2-3 times/week for a couple of weeks. But I had a pretty severe case, I was in a lot of pain all the time and I had maybe 30% range in my shoulder. The procedure got me to about 90% range and I am not in pain anymore. I am doing exercises on my own to get the last bit.

I've never had a frozen shoulder but I've gone to a 2 different chiropractors for my back and neck and love(d) them both. First one retired. My buddy has lots of shoulder issues and goes to his chiropractor for it and loves it with great results. People who are saying chiros aren't doctors or not trust them, etc are absolutely dumb as S. Like these are the absolute worst takes on DCUM that I've seen.

I had intense manipulation from a chiro and it was a game changer.

+1 And by "swimming" I mean just get in a pool and push water anyway you can. Walk and push your arms forward or backward. Do backstroke. Do this for 25 min 2-3 times a week.

2 cortisone shots did not fix mine. Lots of $$$ spent on physical therapy. I tried to use weights at home and stretches. I even went to a chiropractor for the first time in my life to get better range of motion. He creeped me out. And was very pushy about trying to get me to sign a contract for 15 sessions. I only went twice. Didn't go back. Eventually, 2 months of pushing water around fixed it for me. I then actually started swimming... and now, almost 4 yrs later, I have been swimming 2 times a week since then!

I did PT and followed the exercises/ stretches given by physical therapist. Ended up getting a cortisone shot, too, but not sure if it really helped or not. I just gradually tried to increase range of motion.

As others said, eventually faded away. I did then get it in the other shoulder as well (not at the same time, thank goodness), which I believe is not entirely uncommon. The 2nd shoulder seemed a little less severe/less painful, or maybe I just knew more of what to expect, and I just did the PT exercises on my own that time.
