There's lots of smart people here, anyone know what to do for a sore shoulder? I've tried ice, heat, icy hot, and aspercreme with lidocaine. It feels better if I lift it up a little. Ibuprofen works pretty well but I don't know if it is safe to take it every day. I don't see my PCP until December but man my shoulder is killing me. I'm actually not sure if it is the shoulder or some muscle attached to the neck and collarbone or something. I think because I sleep on my side, plus I have scoliosis and some other bone issues. Right now I am resting my elbow on my desk and putting a pillow under my armpit to support it.
