I slipped on some stairs and grabbed the railing to keep from getting hurt. Now this tearing feeling wont go away. Pain relievers aren’t helping at all. I’ve tried Advil and Motrin but now the tearing feeling is spreading over my shoulder blade…. Any advice?

Pain relievers won’t help, it’s a real injury and killing the pain isn’t helpful.
You want to rest it, and alternate heat pad and ice packs on it. If it doesn’t heal up you want to see a doc before it gets worse. It could end up being permanent if you don’t take care of it.
