ouch

Hiya, My partner has the same pain. I am now massaging Arnica cream into the painful areas and around it. He says its so much better since starting that. He has even been able to play golf without complaing that he's in pain now! He used to be in pain for days, sometimes weeks, after golfing. But then again, men always think pain is worse than it actually is ;-) !!!

You said 4 years? It depends where you're sleeping at night. And how do you sleep? On the side? That could probably be a cause. Does your shoulder have pain during the day? I'd recommend you go to the pharmacy and ask for certain oinments that can help your pain or consult with a doctor about to get the right advice on what to do.
