Sprain: This injury appears to have been a sprain of the shoulder structures or a strain of a muscle near the shoulder. This injury is treated with rest and cold applications for the first 24 to 48 hours and afterwards with intermittent heat and rubbing liniment. Allow 7to10 days for healing. Xrays are usually unrevealing with this type of injury but see an orthopedist if it's not improving.
