Try heat as already suggested - and you can also alternate with an ice pack. If it's muscular try putting a tennis ball or similar on the floor under your shoulder and roll around for a while - not as much fun as a massage but effective!

Ouch!!!! Hope it feels better soon Emzy. I was in agony for about a week but it is a lot less painful now. Urgent Care centre gave me Diazepam to stop the spasm and Voltarol for the pain. The Diazepam knocked me out and the Voltarol made me nauseas but it did ease the pain a bit. Also heat helped.

The muscles in my neck and shoulders drive me mad.

I was given a hop filled cushion from Ossy Mills, that you heat in the microwave. It has been so good that I went to buy another, so I can alternate them. I think it was £2.99, but well worth it.

Hope it helps.

Got heat wrap from town yesterday, only cost £1.99 and that has helped. But saying that so did the alcohol consumed last night lol

Struggle with creams / ointments, cant put them on myself and boys not old enough to help yet lol

panther · 04-02-2008, 09:40

If you cant reach to apply creams etc, then get a bath sponge and apply to that. I have even secured cotton wool or a piece of cloth to a coat hanger and applied it that way.
