My wife started having right shoulder pain a few months ago. She’s a tennis player who used to play three or four times a week. She rested for two weeks and started wearing Staminapro patches, one every three days while she rested. Now she puts one on before she plays and has reduced her playing to twice a week. Her pain is now under control. She does play golf twice a week; that has never hurt. She uses the 2”x10” patches. You can either wear patches during physical activity or after. She prefers during because she claims it acts like a brace for her arm while swinging.
Earlier this year, I had both tennis and golf elbow from playing those games. I used the 2.75”x 4” patches for a couple months. Pain in both elbows is completely gone(I must admit I used the patches for left knee pain and it didn’t work. I got a cortisone shot for that.)
You’re supposed to keep them on for 24 hours. They are water-proof so you can bath with them on. They are recommended by some professional golfers including Tony Finau and Justin Rose. They work by electrical stimulation (causing a small electrical current to run through your joints). They are expensive so it might help to lighten the thing in your left pocket making it easier to lift. Good luck.
