…any one have any suggestions for what seems to be a pulled/torn shoulder muscle? My achievable doesn’t kick in for realz until Wednesday and ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow
Thankfully, I can type and knit and roll dice with my arm braced so my shoulder need not move.
Immobilization, rest, and NSAIDs. I tore a hamstring a few years back, and that’s what I had to do.

Take an anti-inflammatory painkiller (like Aleve) on its recommended dosage schedule until you can get to the doc(max dose if necessary) & drink lots of water. You need to keep the damaged muscle area well hydrated but as unswollen as possible.

Ice or heat does wonders! I messed up my shoulder over a year ago (It never fully healed. If I knit for too long, it starts acting up) and I always use heat. If it’s recent, you’re supposed to use ice though (or frozen peas. :D)
