Are you sleeping on that arm? You should keep moving it, like do arm circles a lot during the day or hold your arm above your head to stretch it. Instead of tylenol, try advil. It will help relieve any swelling in the joint. Maybe alternate your ice with a heat pad, or stop the ice and just do heat (in general, you ice an injury for only the first 24 hours and then just do heat).

How many times did they poke you before they got it right.? Is it swollen or red at the site of the injection?(or worse) If yes, youve got a positive test there and something needs to be done. Either way, you shouldnt have pain, (even with a positive test it shouldnt be painful all the way up to your shoulder) go to the doctor and let them look at it, if the HMO nurse ignores you go to her supervisor, you need to get it checked....
