Have Shoulder Pain, Told To Be Fibrosis And Given Tablets. Started Again And Due To Incorrect Sitting Posture

I have pain in my shoulder trapezium part from almost more than a year, when i consulted a doctor, he said in this age it generally happens and it will go, I remember him saying Fibrosis. He gave me tablets. It again started, same way i consulted another doctor. But its stops for few days and again its starts.
Later on i got to know that its because of incorrect sitting posture and many software professionals are facing same issue.
Please suggest me what to do on this.
Any medication??
Do regular stretching and strengthening exercises
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
You are correct. Improper sitting posture and stress is the most common cause of trapezium muscle pain.
To relieve the stress and spasm, do regular stretching and strengthening exercises. A good massage daily twice a day and then hot fomentation will be helpful. But do hot fomentation after the application of massage, also take anti inflammatory ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day after meals as and when required. Applying muscle relaxant gel will be helpful to relieve the spasm.
Try to correct your posture and any awkward position.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and informative and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care.
