Any tips for shoulder pain?

Find a sports masseuse / physio

Seconded.

failing that, co-codamol is brilliant.

But can be addictive

I tend to find that if I am going to the gym regularly I never get any back , shoulder or neck problems. Prevention is much better than cure.

Apparently cocodamol withdrawal is as painful as caffeine, and lasts a bit longer.
