Lots of ice, on 20 min. off for 20.  Take 600 mg. of advil/ibuprofen every 4-6 hours, WITH FOOD!  it takes a minimum of 600 mg.s for it to work as an anti-inflammatory.  Of course, if  you have a sensitive stomach, or have ulcers, do not take it.  And rest it, no heavy lifting, pulling with it, etc... for a few days.

I have torn, pulled, ripped, and over used more muscles and joints than I care to discuss, but this is the best advice the doctors ever give me. 

If after all that, and it still not responding, then go to a doc and maybe have an MRI done of the shoulder.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

I tore mine about nine years ago.....and felt the same way about claiming it at work, but it cost me about 4months work without pay :(

 I'd maybe ice it like was said, maybe rest it for a few days but even after having a minor surgery mine is not the same. Once you've rested it to get the inflammation down stretching is very important, plus weight lifting has helped me a lot with being able to pull a bow. Both mine ache right now and sleeping can be a pain( no pun intended) too. I've been lifting not heavy weights but enough to increase strength.  Let your shoulder(s) tell you how much. It's pretty easy to tell the good pain from the bad pain of lifting. :twocents:

I think I'm going to be alright. I had it checked out (for free, thank you Workmans Comp) and X-rayed.  No dislocations or anything. Doc says I musta just sprained it. There's weird, sporadic occasional pain, but less than 10% of what would make me even think about taking a pain supressant.  I'm not restricted in motions and can do pushups, pullups, and draw my bow back without any shooting pain.  Its more of like, leaning in a chair, or adjusting my seatbelt in the car that I do occasionally feel 'it' (whatever it is).

I took about three days off the bow and went back at it again  yesterday. I'm still at 60lbs on the draw and I think I'm going to leave it at that for this season--I'll work on getting to 73lbs for next year.

Take care of yourselves.. and each other (~Jerry Springer).
