Muscle Strain Question

[melagras]

Do you know the stretch for the shoulder where you grab the doorframe and walk forward a little? Well, that is exactly where I'm hurting on my right side. It started hurting this morning again when I was putting on my shorts. I don't know what I've done. I haven't been lifting weights lately.

Do I leave it alone, try to stretch it out, use heat and/or ice?

I have no funds for a doctor visit/massage/PT so those options are out.

I'd say ice, advil (ibuprofen) and stretch. Leave it alone for workouts, and see if it clears up.

Ice to reduce swelling, heat to loosen up muscle tension, Epsom salt bath, gentle stretch. Other than that......leave it out of workouts for sure!

You got good advice here, so I won't repeat what's already been said. Just wishing you a speedy healing!!!
