Move your shoulder!: Make sure you move your shoulder to prevent stiffness, take over the counter anti-inflammatories, and use heat for tight muscles. Easy to look up simple shoulder range of motion exercises. Worst thing u can do is not move the shoulder! Make sure you see ur doctor if it doesn't improve
