1. You can relieve the symptoms through some exercises. For example, resting your head on your hands, climbing the wall with your fingers, standing with your arms outstretched, stretching your back to feel the spines, etc.

2. Hot compress: You can use a hot water bottle or a heat pad, or you can use blood circulation and pain relief ointment to relieve the pain. It should be noted that the water in the hot water bottle should not be too hot to avoid scalding the skin. If it is a plaster, it is best to remove it in time to avoid skin ulcers.

This will not only enhance local blood circulation, but also loosen adhesions around the shoulder joint, which is conducive to restoring function.

Although it sounds like surgery, the pain is not too strong because it is performed under anesthesia and the time is relatively short, so most people say they can accept it.
