If his pain is not responding to steroid injection then i would advice you to get MRi of shoulder and cervical spine. It will tell us whether there is any nerve compression or any rotator cuff tear in shoulder. He may need physiotherapy or surgical intervention. Till that time he should apply warm water and take Brufen tablet.
