A member asked:

I hurt my shoulder lifting something heavy. i have full range of motion - just tender and increasing aches throughout the day. no noticeable swelling or anything out of place. is it something major and what could help other than icing it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Shoulder pain: Rotator cuff entrapment or bursitis are common causes of shoulder pain, either which could have resulted from your lifting. While both can Improve with steroid injections, non invasive treatments include maintaining range of motion by exercising several times daily full overhead reach and full shoulder range of motion; topical/oral NSAIDS (Voltaren gel/ibuprofen) or rubifacients (icy hot).
