Brief Answer:
Rest and pain medications

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for contacting us.

I have reviewed your information and happy to hear about this high level of physical activity. All the comments already tell you how helpful being physically fit is. I think you might have over worked out and have muscle sores. Shoulder pain is often related to this after exercising. I will recommend rest and pain medications to help with this. Also, drink much water to stay well hydrated to facilitate the excretion of any breakdown products from possibly damaged muscles.

I believe you are already recovering and this would be a progressive process. Be calm, follow through and keep me posted. A, certain all would sooner than later return to normal.

I wish you well and keep me posted on how you are doing!
