Q: If your sore shoulder doesn't respond to the above-mentioned home remedies, then schedule an appointment with your doctor for a physical exam. Your doctor can take x-rays and other tests to determine the cause of your shoulder soreness. Depending on the findings and diagnosis, your doctor may recommend stronger prescription drugs, corticosteroid injections, physical therapy and/or shoulder surgery. Rotator cuff injuries are a common cause of chronic shoulder pain more than 4 million doctor visits per year in the United States are due to rotator cuff problems. The rotator cuff is the group of muscles and tendons that hold the bones of the shoulder joint together. X-rays can detect fractures, dislocations, arthritis, bone tumors and infections, although an MRI or CT scan is needed to see serious issues in muscles, tendons and ligaments. A corticosteroid injection (such as prednisolone) into a sore and inflamed shoulder (bursitis, tendinitis) can quickly reduce inflammation and pain, and allow for greater range of motion and flexibility. Shoulder surgery is reserved for mending broken bones, cleaning up damaged joints, reconnecting severed tendons and ligaments, removing blood clots, and draining accumulated fluid. If your sore shoulder is caused by a rotator cuff injury or another issue related to overexertion or overuse, then get a referral from your doctor for physiotherapy so your shoulder can get rehabilitated. A physical or athletic therapist will show you specific and tailored strengthening exercises and stretches for your sore shoulder, which will make it stronger and more flexible. A physical or athletic therapist may use weight machines, free weights, rubber bands, exercise balls, therapeutic ultrasound and/or electronic muscle stimulation to rehabilitate your shoulder. Physiotherapy is usually needed two to three times per week for four to six weeks to positively impact chronic shoulder problems. Good strengthening activities for your shoulder include push-ups, rowing exercises, swimming and bowling. Your sore shoulder may be related to your neck or mid back, so an appointment with a chiropractor may be appropriate. Chiropractors are joint specialists who focus on establishing normal motion and function within spinal and peripheral joints, such as those of the shoulder. Shoulder soreness can be caused by problems with the underlying joints (glenohumeral and/or acromioclavicular joints), or it can be referred from issues in the thoracic spine (mid back) or cervical spine (neck). Your chiropractor can determine where the pain is coming from and, if need be, manually adjust or slightly reposition the problematic joint. Manual joint adjustments often create a "popping" or "cracking" sound, which is safe and rarely painful. Although a single joint adjustment can sometimes cure a shoulder problem, more than likely it will take a few treatments to make a significant impact. Chiropractors can use manual joint maneuvers to reset a dislocated shoulder, although they don't treat broken bones, joint infections or bone cancer. If your sore shoulder is lingering for much more than a week and you think it's due to tight or strained muscles, then consider a deep tissue massage from a qualified massage therapist. Deep tissue massage is great for relieving muscle soreness, tightness and tension, which can limit your range of movement and reduce flexibility in your shoulder. Massage also promotes better blood circulation and encourages relaxation. Massage therapy is helpful for mild-to-moderate strains and sprains, but it's not recommended for more serious joint or nerves injuries. Start with a 1/2 hour massage session focusing on your sore shoulder, but also ask the therapist to include your lower neck and mid-back. You may find a 1 hour session more effective or prefer to have multiple sessions over the course of a week or two. Allow the therapist to go as deep as possible without you wincing there are many muscle layers in your shoulder that should be addressed for best results.
A: Make an appointment with your doctor. Get a referral to a physical or athletic therapist. See a chiropractor. Try professional massage therapy.

Q: Get rid of all knots before you continue. Grasp a small section of hair close to your hair line. Twist it three times. Bring it up to the crown of your head and push forward slightly to make a bump. Secure this to your crown with bobby pins. Gather the rest of your hair to one side and make a low side ponytail, securing it with a hair tie. Firmly hold the ponytail and twist it around to form a side chignon. Secure it with plenty of bobby pins. Spray over the chignon as well as the twisty bump.
A: Brush out all tangles. Make the twisty bump. Form a side ponytail. Twist the ponytail to make a side chignon. Secure with hairspray.

Q: Return to the kitchen and have an assistant lift the hood. Pull the wiring from the wall through the hood's wiring hole and clamp it to the hood with a cable clamp. Slide the hood into place and drive the screws halfway into the cabinet you are affixing the hood to. Push the hood upward to allow it to connect with the ductwork. While the screws are only halfway in, check to make sure the hole in the hood aligns properly with the ductwork. If it doesn't, take the screws out and readjust the position of the hood. Secure the hood firmly to the underside of the cabinets.
A: Clamp the wiring. Drive the screws halfway in. Check the alignment. Tighten the screws.

Q: Once you're certain that your brackets can hold your rod, remove it to attach your curtains. Most rods have stops at the end to prevent the curtains from falling off. Screw off one stop so you can slide on the curtains and secure them to the rod. Some curtains are attached to the rod by curtain rings while others are threaded directly through the rod. Consult the instruction manual your curtains came with if you're unsure. After you've attached the curtains, screw the stop back onto the end of your rod. Hang your curtain rod back onto the brackets to assess how your curtains look. If your measurements were correct and the brackets installed at a level angle, your curtains should enhance the look of your window. If your curtains are too heavy for the brackets, you may need heavy-duty brackets or a rod with added support. Cut your fabric slightly longer than your desired length, then pin your fabric up with needles. Use a sewing machine to hem the curtain in a straight, even line. Make your hem 1 inch (2.5cm) longer than you expect you'll need to avoid shortening your curtains too much. If the curtain rods are uneven, your curtains may appear crooked or uneven. Measure your curtain rod with a level again and re-adjust the brackets as needed until the rods are straight.
A:
Remove your rod to hang the curtains. Add the curtains onto the rod. Put the rod back into place. Hem your curtains if they remain too long.Take your curtains to a local seamstress or hem the fabric yourself. Check your curtains for crookedness.
