I normally use (SalonPas -lotion) but this time it's burning still :D
I just need a stronger pain relife if anyone here knows anything stronger that SalonPas please share

    Ibuprofen, a topical anti-inflammatory, ice, and check your posture frequently.

    Not what you want to hear, but after 10 days of no pain relief I had to get a cortisone injection in my shoulder yesterday. If it keeps up you had better have it looked at.

    Aleve seems to be the best for muscle pain (at least for me).

    However, you should really get it looked at. If it is a more serious injury than you think, you need medical attention.

    This is good advice. 2x Ibuprofen and 2xparacetamol are good for muscle pain (and may be taken at the same time)
    An ice pack or a hot water bottle may also help. But if it continues it should be checked by a physician. Shoulder pain can be an indicator of heart problems and should NOT be ignored.

    If you're sure it's muscle pain then Arnica 30c taken once every 15 minutes for three doses will help a lot. Arnica cream can be used liberally on the muscle without worrying about dosing. Do Not take too much Arnica by mouth.

    This.
    U can take arnica too by mouth.
    5 pellets dissolved underneath your tongue 3 times a day.

    But ten days is a long time I would see a Dr.

    How long has it been going on? I'm partial to aleve and rest...and if it lasts more than a week I'd see a doctor. I'm having issues with my back right now and thought I just had a crick in my neck...those usually go away after a few days and mine didn't...saw a doc and I have a compressed nerve in my C6 and am in physical therapy now.
