pulled a muscle in my shoulder, best pain relief?
i pulled a muscle in my shoulder a few days ago, but im in marching band, everyday this week for 3 hours a day, and every day next week all day. so the only time i will get to relax my shoulder, other than the other 21 hours this week, but then that relaxing is ruined by the three hours.
marching band doesnt take a lot of muscle, but a pulled muscle hurts a lot since i have to hold my trumpet at a high angle and stand like that for 10 minutes at a time, not to mention while we are marching or playing. and i cant move or take a break with in those ten minutes, because i would be yelled at by my 3 directors and 2 section leaders. who would make me do push ups which would kill my shoulder.
so i really need to rest it, but i cant. so what would be the best way to just make it feel better for a few hours?
i actually did tell my director but he made me come anyway.
my directors think im lying, and my section leader is ironically my sister so she just wants me to suffer.
im pretty much stuck.

I think you should use one of those icy hot things. The have patches upyou can stick on or cream. It will make it feel a little better. I think those products work pretty well for pulled muscles. I have one in my upper stomach and all in my neck. I haven’t used it yet for that, but the other times it helped. –http://www.icyhot.com/ They sell them at
Walmart and pretty much anywhere that sells medicine
Try taking WARM bathes as well. That helps soothe the muscles.
Hope you feel better trumpeter!
Why don’t you tell your directors and section leaders about your pulled muscle problem? That would be the smart thing to do.
