Shoulder pain can be due to many reasons, from bad posture to injury. See an orthopaedic doctor first to get a proper diagnosis. Once you know the cause, treatment becomes much clearer, whether it's physio or medication.

I use an app called 'Physitrack' for my exercises, maybe it can help you too once you know what type of shoulder pain you have. Also, check your posture on your fitness tracker; sometimes small changes make a big difference.

Once your doctor clears it, gentle mobility exercises for the shoulder can be very helpful. Even light walking to keep blood circulation up. Don't push through sharp pain, but controlled movement can aid recovery.

While food won't directly cure shoulder pain, an anti-inflammatory diet can support recovery. Things like turmeric, ginger, and green leafy veggies are good. Avoid processed foods, they can increase inflammation.

Oh, shoulder pain. Is it usually because of how we sit or sleep? I get a dull ache sometimes. Should I also get it checked, or is it normal sometimes?
