I would advise you to meet an orthopedic doctor initially who has to assess it and then will accordingly suggest treatment options such as medications, physiotherapy, steroid injection or surgery as per requirement and extent. These following steps may be of some help: - using good posture while sitting - avoiding lifting your arms repetitively over your head - taking breaks from repetitive activities - avoiding sleeping on the same side every night - avoiding carrying a bag on only one shoulder
