Hello, Did the massage involve vigorous stretching and pressure applied to your shoulders ? Do you otherwise exercise regularly ? Have you tried any medicines since then ? Regards,

Accepted Answer

Hello,

This muscle soreness is probably from the vigous massage, that is causing the pain and inflammation.

You need to rest and apply an ice pack to your shoulders.

OTC Anti-Inflammatory medicines like Tylenol / Advil would help too.

This should go away on its own within 2 - 3 days and you need to avoid heavy lifting / vigorous movements until then.

Kind Regards,

Dr.Joshi
