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

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....

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.
