Suggest Remedies For Inflammation In The Shoulder

Last week I saw an orthopedic surgeon who gave me an injection in my shoulder for austin-arthitis (he had my X-ray with him). Two days ago I had trouble getting up at the kitchen sink from a position on the floor, and (at nearly 77) I really pulled my arm to help pull myself up. I sense I have damaged it again, and have started using Voltarin gel and today have taken two Ibuprofen (200 mg). Doctor, do I use moist heat or ice to lower the inflammation? Thank you! YYYY@YYYY

Dear patient
Give rest to your shoulder by wearing shoulder immobiliser brace for at least 3 weeks. Do moist heat or hot water fomentation with water bag. Ibuprofen 400 mg thrice a day will reduce pain and inflammation. Tab ultracet should also be taken at night.
