Sorry you’re having such a painful start to the year!
I’ve had issues with my shoulder on/off for a long time. I’ve never seeked treatment on the NHS but I’ve found a good sports therapist (or physiotherapist) who is able to massage out the knots and has given me exercises to prevent it from occurring so much and strengthen the muscle. I would have a search on YouTube as there are some helpful things - this might not be possible for right now, but one to look for for long-term maintenance.
As for now, would recommend seeing a physiotherapist if you can, as they’ll be able to solve the root of the problem.
Would also recommend keeping your shoulder warm - have a bath with muscle soak if you have it, or Epsom salts, then after apply some deep heat or keep a hot water bottle on it. Once it’s warm and is beginning to loosen try to keep it moving - shoulder shrugs, and back and forth movements - then maybe give some easy exercises a go.
Hope this helps and that you get it sorted!
