Ouch! Heat or Ice?

Goodness Penny you sound like me. Remember to stretch out your shoulders whenever you get a second at a stop or something. It really helps.

For some reason, it is always my right shoulder that hurts, but usually only towards the end of longer rides, and it has never hurt after a ride before. I do try to stretch during the ride, but i think i was just tensed up the whole ride.

I did end up icing it and taking some advil which took care of it.

I wonder why it is only my right shoulder that hurts? I must hold myself in a strange position on the bike.

Ice and anti-inflammatory the first 24 hours and then whatever feels good. IF you do go with heat, use moist heat. Might also want to try a sports creme and then put on a compression shirt.
