I injured my left shoulder lifting a 5gal water bottle, any suggestions for pain relief ?

I get severe muscular neck and shoulder pain along with muscle spasms in my lower back. It’s not an everyday thing, just every few days I will be really stiff. I was taking Mobic for inflammation for my knees, but my doctor gave me the OK to stop taking that about 5 months ago. I wanted to know if there is any treatment options besides taking a daily medication or going to the chiropractor. Thanks!

When I woke up this morning I had a sharp pain in my left shoulder. It was so bad I had to groan. After about 20 minutes the pain went away. I haven’t been working out recently, and all I did yesterday was drive. Could it be I slept on my left side with my shoulder scrunched up, and that restricted blood flow to the area?

I’ve had this intense burning and pain by my shoulder blade and arm for about 2 weeks now. It starts off very suttle and becomes almost unbearable. Starts with my shoulder blade and continues to my arm. I don’t do any heavy lifting whatsoever. What could this be from?

I have a popping sensation and by the end of a short journey (3 or so miles) the pain is so severe in my left shoulder than my arm is rendered almost useless. Any ideas about what it could be? It stays sore about a day or two but then I go back to normal..

I have this constant pain on my shoulder, around shoulder blade, and pain in my arm. It basically feels as if I have had the shit beaten out of me. I can’t even really stand to have any one touch these areas.

I’ve been experiencing a dull pain in my upper left shoulder blade for about a month now, every time I drink something cold. The pain occurs at the first sip, and it doesn’t last long.

I’ve had this weird neck/shoulder pain since last monday. I have no idea what it’s from, but it hurts when I pick up certain things, or bend down in a certain way. It’s like someone is stabbing a million and two needles in my neck/shoulder.

im 14 years old, and starting in about november, i was getting bad shoulder pains in the same spot. it was bad then, but now it’s only gotten worse. i used to be able to ignore it but now it’s so painful that i can’t even focus in school, this knot is huge too, it begins below the shoulder blade, then a little bit of it is under the shoulder blade and then the rest it about up to my neck. i used to think it was because i carry a somewhat heavy backpack all day at school, but it’s been chronic on only one shoulder. ive tried the rolling on the golf or tennis ball thing, and ive gotten my mom to massage it, nothing seems to work. i don’t know what i can do to make this pain go away. i take ibuprofen but it wears off quickly. i just want all this pain in my shoulder to go away. should i see a doctor about this? or is there another alternative? please help this pain is about to drive me crazy.
