Are you getting-

– Pain with moving the arm such as when putting on a jacket, fastening a bra, or reaching into your back pocket?

Here’s How to Help Yourself

– If you have sustained an injury, use ice on the shoulder (with a tea towel between the skin and the ice) for 15 minutes 2-3 times / day
– If able, allow the arm to swing naturally when you walk to keep the muscles loose
– If the pain is intense and or keeping you from sleeping, driving, or working: speak to your GP for appropriate pain control.
