What's the doctor's recommendation to heal my hurting shoulders (very painful when exercising)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rest helps: A sprain is when a ligament or tendon is injured by overstretching. There may be minimal or quite a bit of damage to it. Inflammation (redness, warmth, tenderness, and swelling) occurs as a natural healing process. The key is minimize further damage while keeping the area flexible/mobile. Ice massage (24-36 hours), compression, elevation, gentle rom, motrin/advil are the keys to maximize healing.
