Hi! I have problem with shoulder pain. I have pain while sleeping at night. Also I have pain over the outside of the shoulder. Doctor diagnosed me shoulder bursitis. He prescribed me Advil, but this drug doesn’t help me at all. What are Best meds for shoulder pain? Does anyone have similar experience?

Hi! I also had shoulder pain. I tried anti-inflammatory medications, but these medications didn’t help me. The best rule of thumb to follow: 'If it causes pain, don't do it!' This includes simple activities such as reaching high objects or reaching behind you. If anti-inflammatory medications doesn’t help the next step is usually a cortisone injection, or steroid shot, into the area of inflammation. I had cortisone injection, and I have pain relief. You should try anti-inflammatory medications, before cortisone injection. Cortisone injections can weaken tendons, and repeated cortisone injections should be carefully considered. Good lack!
