Curtisj76,
Rest and ice are fine and probably a little Advil/Aleve may help with the pain. The gentleman posting as Julian is an orthopedic surgeon in New Zealand (you've been "outed" Julian!). He has given you the proper advice. One thing I might reiterate is the pain felt at night while sleeping is classic for rotator cuff problems. I see this a lot in my practice (I'm a family practice doc) and my wife has had both of her rotator cuffs repaired. The thing she complained about both times was minor problems during the day but couldn't sleep at night--and as a result I didn't sleep well either! Did you do the tests Dr Julian suggested??? What were your results?? I'm sure when Vickie and/or Physioguy find this thread they can help you with some exercises/rehab. Hope you get this solved soon---the warm weather is on its way! Dr Dave
