Injured Shoulder

[Cpt Merlin]

Hi everyone, I'm new here and was looking for opinions from some educated/well-informed people on the matter.
I am 19 yrs old, 5"7 and have been lifting for ~12 months. I recently incurred a right shoulder injury where it became progressively worse over the period of 3-4 weeks and has showed no signs of healing in the past 2 months even with no strenuous activity and using shoulder strengthening exercises.
I got an x-ray/US and the results came back saying I had a small muscle tear and also a muscle impingement in two different areas of the shoulder. Note this is not a rotator cuff injury like most people appear to have. The way it was written makes it seem like they aren't anything major but I haven't noticed any signs of it healing now and it's been about 3-4 months.
I was told a Cortizone shot is the next option to look at. What is the best way about getting a cortizone shot? Do you just get it prescribed from a GP? I was also wondering if any type/s of anabolic steroids would heal a muscle injury (I've been told they will?)
I was contemplating doing my first cycle within the next 6-12 months and was wondering if it would have any affect, be that negative or positive, on my shoulder if I started a cycle earlier than initially anticipated.
Sorry for the naivety of this post but I've become quite frustrated at the fact I've now had nearly 4 months off training upper body.

Any tips, ideas, suggestions, information etc is more than welcome. Thanks!

No steroids will not help it heal. The GP will do the cortisone shot. It may relieve some of the discomfort but it doesn't mean you should start lifting again right away.

I suggest getting some PT done. If you dont have any serious or permanent damage this can help a lot. Also use ice on it.

Xray show VERY little, mostly only bone. Do you mean you had an MRI? The way they see the most is an MRI with contrast dye. I had this done and it didnt show very much in mine either. I did PT and trying to let it heal for almost a year. I opted for surgery and the doctor said after he cut me open he was more than surprised at the amount of damage, tears, impingement and a lot of other stuff. Sometimes you just dont know until you get in there.

Best things is to lay off it for quite a while. See a good PT, use ice and when you start lifting stay light and build slowly or you will re injure it.
