Does the pain start when you first wake up in the morning and go away after a few hours? Do you sleep on your side? If so then the problem most likely is your mattress. Its offering you support but not enough pressure point relief. If your lookin for a quick if for that and don't want to change out your mattress, just try purchasing a foam topper from COSTCO or something. It wouldn't hurt to just go in a mattress store and spend some time with the sales person. If they are any good they will be able to answer your questions and not just try to sell you the best mattress. I do know the industry so if you would like some recommendations on some good companies just ask.

Accupuncture is the best option you got. I am an interpretor for my mom who is an accunpunturist. I see patients come to our office with tense back, or painful shoulders, or leg injuries and after a session of accupuncture their pain has decreased drastically. The change is very obvious. I asked every patient who had Accupuncture and i get an recurring answer: "because it relaxes it".
I would suggest not to go near chiropractor, because all they give you is a caste for your pain to be status quo. Even though it is true that a painful hand can heal itself on its own, but it would take weeks. Excercising helps to rehabilitate too.
Also, if you have the painful shoulder for more than 2 weeks, it could be swollen, which means that your tendons are swollen and it will damage the nerves next to it. As a result, blocking blood circulation to that area. I advice you to do something quick.

You can take motrin to relieve any inflamation that may be in your shoulder. Cold packs for twenty minutes ever hour. Depending on how long you have had this pain, you might want to consider calling your doctor or having an x-ray taken. If it is not too painful, try some range of motion exercises.

I had the same problem a year ago and it didn't get better until I stopped using the arm for any reaching or lifting, for a period of about two weeks. Also ibuprofen, massage, heat, maybe cold.

Try massage, acupuncture or see a chiropracter. Those pads that heat up are helpful, too.
