How long do i take ibuprofen for inflammation in the shoulder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It varies: Risks of NSAID use are increased risk,for heart, gut, kidney injury. Normally if you are young and healthy, your doc can draw labs to certify that the negatives don't outway the positives. If pain does not resolve w treatment after a few weeks, you should see an ortho doc to learn if something can be fixed.
