inflamation

[greyhound189]

what do you guys do for inflamation?......i have a lot in my upper back by my scapula where the shoulder stuff connects to it and it sucks....i took some motrin but its not all that great.....so any info would be a great help

 

[ProfitsWorld]

How many MG of motrin did you take? Take about 800mg and that should help out a lot.

 

[greyhound189]

i took 400 mg......it said not to take more than 2 at a time.......so its ok to take 800 mg at a time?

 

[ProfitsWorld]

800mg

Yes 800mg at a time every 6-8 hours is fine....take with food and not on empty stomach and remeber it is not somthing to keep taking for long periods.... It is a good alternative for a pain killer and helping with inflamation....

What were you doing shrugs or something? It seems I always get a tightness or akward sore/stiff in the trap area the days after doing shrugs b/c I try to go real heavy and hold it but it works great for getting the stubborn things to grow.

naproxen sodium (aleve) 600-800mg a day. My shoulder used to get so inflamed i could barely move it. take aleve for a couple of days and it will go away

big bump here. I take 3-4 alieve as needed, works wonders. If you go to a doc, he wqill most likely prescribe naprocyn which i beleive is a higher mg form of aleive.

I'll also bump the aleve. My elbow got messed up from throwing too hard. A few of those and you're good to go.

That's exactly what the doc will precribe you Naproxen @ about 500mgs. Save the time and money and get the aleve.

aleve doesn't do shit for me, I always stick w/ Ibuprofrin. either way, they're both an antiinflamitory drug as well as a pain killer, so take as suggested for 3-5 days after the pain goes away, this will help heal it permanently rather than just dealing w/ it every time it hurts. this is what my trainer has taught me to heal my shin splints and shoulder....

 

[wheelzdgh]

celebrex is what I use, works wonders and you dont have to stay on it for the pain to stop-wheelz

rest ice compression and elevation bro...warm fluids will also help belive it or not and try not to use it for a while 800mg inuprofen 3 times a day for swelling and pain control take with food, so it doesnt eat up your stomach if it persists for more than 5 days as bad then go see a doc.
