I have had increasing shoulder pain for the past several months. My primary care physician believes it is an impingement. To relieve some of the discomfort I have been taking Ibuprofen on a pretty regular basis. I do have an appointment with an orthopedist, but until then, is there anything else I can do?
Hello, Welcome, and thanks for sharing your concern I went through your query, and I feel, there is a lot you can do, 1 Avoid all overhead activities which demand shoulder movement and abduction,2 continue analgesics as and when required, but nor regular,3 infrared heat or USG heat can help heal to some extent.4 avoid lifting of heavy weights hope my advice would have been useful, in decision-making regarding your treatment, still if you have any clarifications or doubts feel free to contact back. Thanks.
