A member asked:
What home remedies can i apply to treat strained tissue around the shoulder blade, and what pain medication can be used?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ice applied to the area for 20 minutes at a time at least 3-5 times per day will help to reduce inflammation. Acetaminophen can also be used for pain relief. If the pain/discomfort persists for more than 2 weeks, you may need to see a Dr for imaging and exam.
