what is the best over-the-counter medicine for muscle inflammation?

Accepted Answer

We call these NSAIDs: Aleve, advil and Motrin are the most popular brand names (ibuprofen and naproxen, the generics) and each works well.  Aleve is the easiest to use since you take one twice a day but that doesn't make it better.
