I think I've sprained my shoulder. It feels as though someone is boring into the blade and sending tremors down the arm. Crunching noises and feelings iyswim when moving it. Painful but can use hand..

Went to see the GP about something else but mentioned it, she took blood pressure which was fine.

What should I do? Currently alternating ibruprofen and paracetemol, hot water bottles etc.. anything else? How long till it sorts itself?

HI I sprained my shoulder post coughing fits (and pulled intercostal) and I have like a frozen should, esp if carting the kids around. Dr said it can take up to 18 montsh but he's getting some physiotherapy for me so I can do some exercises to loosen it off and strengthen the tendons etc.

I do know getting the pillows exactly right is critical and I slept in an uncomfy position cold recently. But even so...
