Hi,
Do hot and cold therapy (take one bowl of hot water and one bowl of cold water, dip your hand in lukewarm water first for 3 mins then in cold water for one min ) do it 7-10 times. Don't lift or pull anything heavy, avoid any overhead activities.
I hope it will help you. Hope you will find the answer useful.
Regards, Dr. Harsh Swarup
