sore shoulder

I went to the doctor for soreness in my shoulder and he told me that I have a nerve im pingement and to take 600mg ibuprofen 4 times a day . Are there any stretching exercizes that may help speed up healing?

check with a physical therapist or a really good chiropractor.
You could ask the doc to refer you, so insurance covers it.

Been there, the physical therapists had me use large rubber bands to do light excerize to strengthen the muscles around the shoulder. Don't use weights as the resistance changes with the angle of your arm. Many sporting goods stores will carry the bands, and they will usualy come with instructions on how to use them.

just take it slow but don't stop working out. shoulders are problems for a lot of people, especially men because we are so prone to working out our upper body. I hurt mine trying to max out on bench without warming up, ouch!

I think that it's important to see a physio, sports-med doc, or figure some excercises that you can do (as previous posters implied). Personally I found physio important though as with all professionals... some are good while others seem clueless.

Best as I understand it - the support muscles in the shoulder start to waste away after an injury. I've injured mine 3-4 times in various ways. Anyways... my impression is that time off-excercise (and eventual physio bill) is minimized by early action.

Figure out as much as you can off web. Do the exercises starting with arm-below-shoulder ones. I only add stretching once basic movements are pain free. I don't generally see the physio quite as often as they advise - I give each change in program 2wks to work. Depending. : >

Don't do anything at home or in gym on shoulder that really hurts. My rule is that slight pain from exercises is ok as long as it's gone within approx 24hrs.

Reckon that docs are a waste for most shoulder cases and injuries unless you really think it's major. Most but not all go very paranoid and send you for X-Ray, bone scan, ultrasound, MRI, CT scan etc. My experience (and friends/family) is that these almost always show mostly-normal joints. Physio/trainers will send you do a doc anyway if you are seriously broken.

Don't get operated upon until you've done physio or similar excercises. Private sports clinics always seem overly keen to put you under the knife. Results don't seem to meet their claimed success rate and you'll probably have to do rehab exercises in the end anyway.
