Shoulder and Neck Strain
I am suffering from strain or pinched nerve around my shoulder and neck region. One week back, I was lifting little bit of weight in gym and sprained my shoulder. It was not severe so I ignored it and kept on exercising for few more days. After another shoulder exercise session, it has become more painful. The pain is not severe but I feel uncomfortable around my lower neck region and shoulder and movement is difficult. Even the right side arm is also affected a bit. I am using Volini and resting without pillow from past two days but its not improving. It is really bad after I wakeup. Please suggest some remedy.
