Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I would like to know if there was any fall or hit on the shoulder. In my opinion, I would recommend getting some soft tissue work on your shoulder rotator cuff muscles. Keep icing your shoulder frequently for 15 minutes once every two hours. Do some posterior capsule stretch, and rotator cuff regularly stretches each stretch to be held for 30 seconds. I hope this is helpful for now.

Kindly revert after a week to let me know the status of your shoulder.
