If your shoulder is inflamed, which is what often happens when you pull a muscle, ice is absolutely the best thing you can do, coupled with an anti-inflamatory like Ibuprofen. Heat will just further aggravate it.

You know AQ....Lord I’m glad you said this.

Because the ibuprofin helps a little bit but you’ll note that I mentioned ice in my question.

Because at times dawn will break over my marble head. I’ve been putting heat on this thing and nothing, nada...more pain.

So I got to thinking...maybe I’m doing the opposite of what I should be doing?

Cause I figure some nice numbing ice would feel real good right about now.

I’m in so much pain...me and advertising guy could have a pain party.
