Ben, I would recommend that you avoid volleyball for a while. It sounds like anti-inflammatories are helping. I would ice the shoulder region for the next 2-weeks for 15-30 minutes at a time, 3-5 times daily. I would only use your arm in a pain free range of movement. I would hug a pillow at night, and avoid sleeping on your shoulder. You should have a therapist check out your shoulder. You may have tendonitis. Your shoulder has a major inflammatory component involved that needs to calm down. Once you no longer have pain, you need to gradually strengthen your shoulder musculature in a painfree range. This problem will take some guidance. Good Luck. Brett, PT
