I'm afraid there isn't much to make it heal faster than eating well and good rest. However, if your pain continues for 1-2 week, you should definitely go to the orthopedic doctor for a checkup. Rotator cuff injuries are common in athletes, but they take time to heal. When there is a tear in the rotator cuff, surgery is the only way to repair them. I don't mean to scare you but it is the truth.
Take some fish oil. It is a good anti-inflammatory.
