Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Since you have an acute pain in the shoulder you need to give your shoulder a rest. The best pain killer you can get OTC is Aleve or Motrin. It is best to take Aleve every 4 hours to have a persistent pain relief. Doing a hot compress on the shoulder will also help.
In case the pain is unbearable then do consult your orthopedician for a proper examination and stronger pain killers like Tramadol and muscle relaxant.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
