I have shoulder joint pain. What could be the cause, and what medicine should I take for relief?

Asked by Female, 45 · 14 hours ago

Shoulder pain is very common and often caused by simple issues like muscle strain, minor rotator cuff tendon irritation, or mild inflammation (bursitis). For temporary relief, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol or an anti-inflammatory medicine like ibuprofen, if you have no contraindications. Resting the joint and applying a cold compress for 15 minutes can also reduce discomfort. There is no need to worry, as most cases improve with rest. However, if your pain is severe, results from a sudden injury, or does not improve within a week, please consult a doctor for a proper physical evaluation.
