Based on your description of the pain you are feeling in your shoulder, it sounds like it could be related to inflammation or a possible rib injury. Taking an anti-inflammatory medication may help reduce the pain and stiffness. If the pain persists after taking the medication for 7 to 10 days, it would be advisable to see a doctor to rule out any fractures. When there is pain in the ribs or intercostal muscles, breathing can exacerbate the discomfort. If needed, a prescription for an anti-inflammatory medication can be provided to help alleviate the symptoms.
