Suggest Treatment For Shoulder Pain Despite Using Ice Packs
I have pain in my shoulder, I ve been exercising using heavy weight with a small amount of reps. I have osteoporosis and am 72 years old. The doctor has recommended ice packs once a day 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off and 20 minutes on with no exercise on my arms for three weeks. I ve only been doing this for 4 days but have had no relief yet. Should I be concerned? Thank you, Sherry Setser
