Anybody have a suggestion for over the counter help?
So I woke up yesterday morning with my right shoulder front all the way around to my back shoulder and shoulder blade. in a dull pain. I think I slept wrong or twisted in my sleep. I am a huge tosser and turner when I sleep. I've done it before. The problem is that Alive isn't working and it is normally a dull pain but every once in a while I get this sharp pain for no rhythm or reason.
I don't want to go to the hospital due to covid. I also had a bad experience which the local hospitals. I don't want t go if I don't actually have too.

No mention of burning sensation.
It's hard to earn a medical degree via the internet! 
I hope to avoid frozen shoulder because "signs and symptoms typically begin gradually, worsen over time and then resolve, usually within one to three years."
Only one to three years!?!
The ones that have a two inch piece between the pillow edge. For me they are too high and I sleep on my left side. Once I do my pool exercise at the Y pool it is much better the Teacher is a Physical Therapist. We are mostly Silver Sneaker gals and one man.
It is at 6AM, but worth it. Let us know if you find relief! 
Stand with your feet wide apart. Bend forward, hang your arm down, and move it in a circle, like you’re stirring. First do some in one direction and then the other.
Also, I’m a fan of Salonpas capsaicin patches.
Good luck!
Instead of something in your shoulder, it could be your spine. I have a lot of experience with spinal-shoulder problems and there is a major connection to shoulder pain that originates in your spine and the space in between, not that shoulders don't host a number of pain inducing issues. I have been doing therapy for over 30 years with an injured shoulder.
Some stretches, as mentioned above could be very helpful. Some stretches that I have used include:
Lay flat on your back on a hard surface like yoga mat (no pillow), raise your knees feet on floor arms sort of out to the side and pull your lower torso/butt toward your feet adjusting the rest of your back to take up slack without moving your head. The idea is to slowly stretch out your spine then rest in that position for a few minutes. You can also, while lying there, do slow rotations with your head, looking from side to side. Also, when getting up, roll to one side to raise your upper body.
While standing, next to a wall or vertical structure, place one hand flat on the wall, feet comfortably apart, rotate your torso slowly as far as you can until you feel a bit of a stretch, then do that in the other direction. Repeat with other side.
If you have tight muscles in your neck/shoulder you can use two tennis balls or racket balls in a sock, tie them tightly into the toe, and while lying on your back as described above, place the sock thing under your shoulders/neck with the balls straddling your spine and count to ten. You can move them all up and down your spine to the end of your rib cage, avoid unprotected organ areas. This is a great tool that I still use often to release tight muscles.
An anti inflammatory is advised along with icing the sore area. Use an ice pack and place it on the sore area until the area is numb, remove ice and let the muscles warm naturally, heat is not always a good thing for this area of your body in distress.
Good luck, there's a lot to know and try but if you have to work it out at home, best to have a variety of options.
