I felt a soreness in my left shoulder last Saturday. I thought it was muscle pain, and on Monday I had muscles around the back side of my shoulder twitching. I used an ointment to help the pain (pain = 3, but constant) and took ibuprofen every 4 hours. Yesterday my arm was very weak, noticed when I tried to golf and later when I tried to lift a half gallon of milk. I have quit ointment, and taking ibuprofen twice during the day.
Hi, Thanks for your query. The symptoms you have described are more likely to be symptoms of muscles strain. To get relief from the pain and for quick healing:1. Do hot fomentation at the site.2. Apply local anti-inflammatory gel 2-3 times a day.3. Take anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. 4. Do not lift weight or try to do exercise that involve painful muscles. Give proper time to heal. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
