Need rest

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

If there is pain in the shoulder on doing work then it is recommend for you to rest your shoulder for a minimum of 1 week for it to heal.

If there is pain in shoulder even with no movement, you may have to continue physiotherapy.

Applying painkiller gel like volini or noble gel would provide temporary relief. Continue ice massage.

Hope, I answered your query.
