I hope you have decent pain relief from your GP and you know what is wrong with your shoulders?
After that I would try things like a warm wheaty bag that you put in the microwave or an ice pack in a teatowel see if they help.
I have found tens machines useful in the past with arthritic pain.
Alos distraction helps me coming on here and having a natter is one thing I do.
