Accepted Answer

NSAIDS, ice, heat...: Pain, stiffness, and inflammation can be relieved  with over-the-counter medications like advil or aleve (naproxen). Follow directions on label. Ice for about 45 minutes will address inflammation and swelling, never apply ice to the skin, always over a towel or clothing. Follow this by heat for about 20 to 25 minutes to help soothe and relax tight muscles. Gentle range of motion and stretching exercises.

Question 9

how should i reduce my shoulder pain ?

Accepted Answer

Be Evaluated: Its not possible to improve the situation without an accurate diagnosis. Shoulder pain can be caused by problems specific to the shoulder, or the pain can be the result of a problem in another location in the body like the neck. Once an accurate diagnosis is made physical therapy targeting the identified problem and some anti inflammatory medication is first line treatment.

Question 10

could it be something bad if i have shoulder pain?

Accepted Answer

Rarely "bad": Lots of things cause shoulder pain.  By far, the most common thing is irritation of the shoulder tendons.  This goes by many different names:  "rotator cuff tendinitis", or "bursitis", or "impingement".  This are nicely helped by therapy and possibly a cortisone shot.  A good exam and at least an x-ray, however, are key elements to getting the best treatment for the problem.
