I'm trying the ice/heat treatment but not sure if I should see a specialist? get an MRI? Get Physical Therapy? or give it more time with the ice/heat ? I don't want to take the NSAIDs. 
Any comments or advice would be appreciated ! |
It might help if you would explain how this condition came about. If you bumped or brused your shoulder, like I did a few years ago, it will likely heal itself if given enough time. I bumped my shoulder and it hurt really bad. Then if I made any sudden movement to extend my arm it would give me pain. I didn't go to a doctor and I didn't try any home remedy. I just gave it plenty of time, like over a year. Now it's totally healed. "Time" is a great healer.
It's strange that it was only certain motions that would give me pain, like when I extended my arm a certain way. But I could still work out with hand weights to maintain my muscle tone. So, if you are able, work both arms to maintain muscle tone. Take it slow and easy until you get used to it.
