How Should Pain Relieve?
What is Shoulder Pain?
Shoulder pain is one of the most common problems. Shoulder pain may include cartilage, ligaments, muscles, nerves or tendons. In addition, it may affect the shoulder blade, neck, arms and hands (1) Early treatment is important for shoulder joint pain. Depending on the situation, the recovery may take eight weeks or more. Some home remedies may help to improve shoulder pain.
What is good for shoulder pain?
Shoulder pain treatment usually involves reducing inflammation (swelling and redness) and strengthening the muscles. There are some ways you can take care of yourself, especially at home, and help alleviate shoulder pain.
Anti-inflammatory Drug Therapy
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) help reduce pain and low inflammation. Non-prescription drugs for shoulder pain include aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen.1 (1) Reduction of inflammation is very important in shoulder muscle injuries, tendonitis, arthritis and other shoulder injuries.
Pressure Application
Wrap your shoulder with an elastic bandage to help reduce swelling and pain, regardless of right shoulder pain or left shoulder pain. Use a cold compression bandage or a normal bandage for this procedure. You can easily obtain bandages from pharmacies. Try to wrap the bandages tightly, but be careful not to overstress them too tightly, because if you wrap too tightly, you can block the blood flow. If your arm or hand begins to numb or bruise, loosen the compression bandage. (1)
Cold Compress Application

Cold compresses in general can help reduce shoulder swelling, although the causes of shoulder pain are quite varied. Cooling also helps relieve sharp pain (2) Apply an ice pack up to 20 times a day for up to 20 minutes. Use ice cubes in a frozen gel pack or in a plastic bag. Wrap the cold pack in a soft towel. Do not apply ice directly to the skin.
Heat Treatment
Heat helps to relax tense muscles and soothe any possible stiffness in the shoulder during shoulder treatment. Shoulder muscle pain and arthritis can be corrected with heat treatment to get a bit. You can use a heated gel pack or a hot water bottle.
Muscle Relaxants

If there is muscle tension or spasms around the shoulder joint, muscle relaxants can help treat pain. Some muscle relaxants are frequently used, but you will need a prescription from your doctor to get most of them. Keep in mind that muscle relaxants cause drowsiness, and if you think it will adversely affect your work, you should pay attention before using.
Pain Relief Drugs
Drugs such as acetaminophen and aspirin can help relieve pain. Taking medication for shoulder pain will help you cope with disability and better adapt to the situation as you recover. Pain medications can cause side effects such as stomach upset and heartburn. (1) Consult a doctor if you have been taking them for more than four weeks. You can also try topical pain relief gels and creams that do not have the same side effects as painkillers.
Rest and Activity Change
Stop or change the activity that may or may not cause shoulder injury or shoulder pain. (2) It is important to move the shoulder slowly. This helps to keep the shoulder muscles strong and flexible.
Shoulder Exercises and Stretching
Regular exercises and stretching can keep your shoulder strong and flexible. Before you start exercising, there are a few things to remember:
Stop exercising if there is an increase in your shoulder pain. It may be too early to exercise.
Perform the exercises in the correct form. Incorrect exercise can also cause shoulder problems or further aggravate the existing problem. (1)
Do not forget to warm up even before stretching. Slight movements, even a hot shower, are ways to warm your muscles before exercising and stretching.
