It's been 2 weeks, I have taken asprin, alieve, Tylenol, Stopain roll-on (which agitated it), also the icy hot patches, nothing has eased or taken away the pain. I have no prior back injuries don't lift anything over 50lbs. I woke up one day and there the pains was, I dont know what caused it or how to relieve it, please help.

Dear  Jeremy,
For your shoulder pain.You have aggravated the muscle or nerve that goes to that area.
Try icing the area for a few days,max dose of Alleve and total rest.
A muscle spasm should start to feel better by week three.
If still in pain-see a an MD pain specialist.
Hope This Helps!
