There are some things you should and shouldn’t do to help ease shoulder pain.
Do;
*stay active and gently move your shoulder
*try shoulder pain exercises do them for six to eight weeks to stop pain returning.
*stand up straight with your shoulders gently back
*sit with a cushion behind your lower back
*rest your arm on a cushion in your lap
*if the pain starts more gradually, try a hot water bottle in a towel for 20 minutes, two to three times a day to ease the pain
Don't:
*completely stop using your shoulder – this can stop it getting better
*do things that seem to make it worse
*make up your own strenuous exercises or use heavy gym equipment
*slouch when sitting – don't roll your shoulders or bring your neck forward.
