How To Get Rid Of Shoulder Ache

[Funkyflower37]

I have stretched or maybe pulled my shoulder a few days ago, anyone got any ideas how to soothe it other than hot/cold pack or ibuprofen gel/tabs?

If ibuprofen isn't doing the job, ask a pharmacist for naproxen.

Are we to assume that you have tried Ibuprofen, whether tablets or gel and could you give us some idea as to the dosage.
Could you tell us if you are having pain, is it worse at anytime of the day and do certain movements make it worse.
The "Pharmacist" may need that information.

I have asthma so cannot take ibuprofen.
The gels I have tried are prescription strength
I have a fusion at the top of my spine/ base of my neck, I've had this for many years without to much trouble.
I have seen the quack and have an x-ray booked for later on today.
Thank you for your help
