Shoulder is sore today from overworking it yesterday, pills aren't doing much to take the edge off the pain is more pronounced today so I guess it's really just a strain or something.
I think i"m going to ice it up when i get home today.
I guess at the same time I might save my grocery shopping till the weekend as much as I'm tempted today after work.
Going to take it easier today while I'm at work and not use my left arm as much.
I used to find Voltaren or Dencorub seemed to help a little. I would also tuck the injured arm inside my shirt before sleep so it wouldn't flop around as much and I couldn't unconsciously put it in an aggravating position.
Just some suggestions that may or may not be useful. I hope something brings some relief soon. I remember how much it hurt
Iโll put some more deep heat on soon.
To be honest it did keep me awake last night and making my arm hurt.
If you have access to a bathtub, grab some Epsom salts and have a really hot bath with some.
That's alleviated migraines causes by a fucked shoulder for me before.
At Iโve had one those Iโm a little bit cautious about using epsom salt because of my skin sensitivities.
