Upper shoulder pain and stiffness, how to relieve?

Question by .: Upper shoulder pain and stiffness, how to relieve?
I have really stiff shoulders, and ive tried everything to help them go away but they never do! I just have such horrible knots in there. I had a chiropractor tell me it feels like I literally have rocks in there Couldnt afford to see him anymore :/

Ive tried massages, hot baths (with epsom salt), all sorts of relaxation techniques and such.

Any ideas on what I can do?

Please dont tell me to see a doctor. I dont have insurance anymore.

Hi,
I have had the condition you described on and off for the last 30yrs.
I have tried every remedy known to mankind to no avail. I saw a
segment on TV one day on how to relieve pain with rice (stay with
me now) They had a fancy version with fancy tassels and fabric.
All you need is a 5lb bag of cheap white rice (around -2). an
old t -shirt, and either a needle and thread, or a sewing machine,
I promise it is not hard-I am not a sewer, but if you can thread a
needle, you can do this;if not they sell them at stores for about
10 times the amt. Cut off the tshirt right below the sleeves evenly and sew that end of the tshirt shut (you don’t have to be fancy with
the stitch just make sure it’s tight) Then fill the open end with the
bag of rice, Sew the open end the same as the other end. Split
the bag of rice into two sections (use your hand, a ruler, whatever.
Now sew the bag right down the middle (should be about two 6in
wide sections when done. Put it into the microwave for about 5min.
or until the bag is hot to the touch but not steaming. While you are
waiting, take any type of arthritus strength med. Take the bag out
of the microwave, find a recliner or a high back chair and position
the bag where it hurts. If the pain is on both sides, Spend about
20min on each side. Do some arm rotations when done. You won’t
believe how easy this is to make-I have made them for my whole
family and they love them. For less then an hour of time and the
price of a bag of rice, you can be pain-free. At least until next time.
Good luck. Let me know if it works. Oh, you can also use this for
other parts of your body-I have Fybermyalgia and it has become
invaluable to me.

just wondering how much of the sheet gets pulled up when you get your upper thighs massaged.?

have been to a massage therapist once that i went in nude and had a sheet over me, but i mainly wanted to focus on neck and back. now i want to go back and get my lower body too. i’m wondering how she will massage my thighs. will she do the inner and all around? will she pull up the sheet so my whole leg is exposed and see close to my penis, not that i care if it gets exposed (like mid thigh, upper thigh area)? i have been to another place that massaged, but it was fully dressed. i found that its much more relieving and fulfilling to have less clothes on. im just curious on what others experiences have been and what i should expect.

hey guys just wondering on your experience on how your upper legs are massaged at a massage therapist?

i have been to a massage therapist once that i went in nude and had a sheet over me, but i mainly wanted to focus on neck and back. now i want to go back and get my lower body too. i’m wondering how she will massage my thighs. will she do the inner and all around? will she pull up the sheet so my whole leg is exposed and see close to my penis, not that i care if it gets exposed? i have been to another place that massaged, but it was fully dressed. i found that its much more relieving and fulfilling to have less clothes on. im just curious on what others experiences have been and what i should expect. and will they generally leave an area or cut an area short if one was to get an erection?
