First question is how old are you? This gives me some indication of whether the shoulder pain is likely to be degenerative or from an injury. Secondly, how did you "develop" this pain? Sudden onset? Gradually increasing or from an injury etc?

Without a proper history and examination it's hard to comment accurately but my initial feeling is that there is more than one thing going on here. The steroid injection will have likely reduced the acute inflammation in the tendon sheath by now but it would be unlikely to have precipitated a neurological problem ie tingling. You really need an examination to establish what is causing this numbness and until you have had this I wouldn't advise excessive exercise.

How long until you are seen?
