Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you may be having tendinitis of your shoulder tendon specially of long head of biceps tendon. Icing is helpful. Rest is advisable. Analgesic such as ibuprofen are of help as these relieve of pain and swelling. Vitamin B and C is helpful in recovery. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. You can also write to me directly on below link:
