General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Do you have pain over your shoulder/ neck region?

Can you lift your hand above your head? Do you feel any pain at that times? I suggest you to take T.Hifenac D BD (twice a day after food) for 3 days and T.Neurobion forte OD(Once daily after food) for 7 days. If still symptoms persist consult an orthopedic.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
