- RX is always ice 30 minutes 2 – 3 x a day on the painful area. Take anti-inflammatory meds, stretch, and tape the shin and arch before any physical activity.
- Apply ice ASAP. If severely injured or you have suffered a dislocation see a doctor right away. If the area is painful with the arm is in the down position, use a sling to support it. Perform the rotator cuff exercises shown in this post.
