When I picked my dog up from the groomer she seemed fine, but ever since, she yelps/whines when she pushes up out of a lying down position. It is her front left leg, and I think the pain is in her shoulder, but not certain. The vet checked her out and said he didn't think it was a break since she was walking on it fine, but 3 days later she is still in pain and I am wondering if there is anything else I can do for her here at home? Any vets/specialists out there willing to help? Will baby aspirin really help or will it just mask a problem that could be getting worse?

I wouldn't give aspirin unless the vet suggested it. I would go back to the vet and ask about using rimadyl-an antiinflamatory for dogs commonly used for arthritis and the like.

Go back to the vet.

call the vet again.
Also, ask if it would be ok to get some glucosamine for your dog. You don't say how old she is, but if she is older, she could be just achy.
