OTC Medications
NSAIDs or non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, such as aspirin, naproxen, or ibuprofen would provide temporary effects on shoulder pain. They are effective in reducing inflammation and ease discomfort. You can easily purchase in every drug store. Make sure to follow the instructions and take the right dosages. Be aware of possible side effects, such as headache, stomach upset, dizziness, or drowsiness. Since NSAIDs may be hard on your liver, kidneys, or stomach, it is advisable not to use them for a long period. Other alternatives include muscle relaxants and OTC analgesics. [4]
