A member asked:
Which medicine to cure a tendonitis or shoulder pain is most effective?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rest: Most pain in the shoulder resulting from tendonitis is secondary to overuse. Rest from the provacative activity is the appropriate initial treatment. In addition, antiinflammatory medications can be helpful if taken for short durations of time 7-10 days. However, make sure that you can saftely take it, ie check the side effects.
