How do you heal a bruised shoulder muscle asap?


Question:
I got hurt a while ago playing line-backer in football... Please answer if you know.

Answers:
Rest is the best cure. Ice or heat packs/sprays may help take the pain away faster. Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory as well as a painkiller so will help with any swelling.

But really, if you exercise again too soon you will only end up hurting it again, and probably worse than it was before, so rest for a few days and then build up with slow and gentle movements until you are sure it is completely better.
Use a sports cream to relieve the pain and ice the muscle to reduce swelling and bruising. You may still need a few days to heal, but that will help.
