I have a shoulder sprain and Volini pain relief spray is not providing any relief. What are the best home remedies for a sprain, and is it safe to exercise?
Since the topical spray isn't helping, the best immediate home remedy is the PRICE protocol: Rest the shoulder, apply Ice packs for 15-20 minutes several times a day, use a supportive wrap for Compression, and keep it Elevated. Over-the-counter generic relievers like ibuprofen or paracetamol can also reduce discomfort. Regarding exercise, please avoid strenuous workouts or lifting weights with the injured arm right now, as this can worsen the injury. Rest is crucial for healing. You should only transition to gentle, pain-free stretching once the acute pain has subsided. If the pain persists or worsens, please consult a doctor for a physical assessment.
