Default Ideas on what to do for shoulder pain. Arnica?

Hi,
My mother is suffering shoulder pain -- most likely rotator cuff caused by playing tennis.

She had an appointment to go to the dr on Monday/September 15 but everything is shut down because of the hurricane.

I am thinking of buying some arnica lotion and also arnica tablets and overnight mailing them to her by Tuesday when I have some time off work.

The nearest open grocery for her is 10 miles away. They don't even have post office delivery now. But maybe by the time I overnight mail this on Tuesday, they will have some services back up and running.

She is the kind that often suffers in silence.
She does not like to take my med suggestions but if the pain is bad enough, she might try the cream or the tablets. Any other ideas? Anything I can buy in the drug store here and send to her?

Mari
