I'm suffering from shoulder sprain on my left arm which occurred a week ago during swimming. Intensity of the pain has decreased considerably but, whenever I do some work intuitively with my left hand, the pain triggers. Right now, hotspots for the pain are at end of the arm near the shoulder and also beside the backbone where the bone emerges out regularly. Any suggestions?
