<human>: I felt a soreness in my left shoulder last Saturday. I thought it was muscle pain, and on Monday I had muscles around the back side of my shoulder twitching. I used an ointment to help the pain (pain = 3, but constant) and took ibuprofen every 4 hours. Yesterday my arm was very weak, noticed when I tried to golf and later when I tried to lift a half gallon of milk. I have quit ointment, and taking ibuprofen twice during the day.
<bot>: Hi, Thanks for your query. The symptoms you have described are more likely to be symptoms of muscles strain. To get relief from the pain and for quick healing:1. Do hot fomentation at the site.2. Apply local anti-inflammatory gel 2-3 times a day.3. Take anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. 4. Do not lift weight or try to do exercise that involve painful muscles. Give proper time to heal. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
