Is Aleve Safe For Shoulder Arthritis And Suggest Mild Exercise
I am an 85 year old female and have severe arthritis shoulder pain. My Doctor prescribed Voltaren Gel. Also recommended acupuncture..will this Gel affect my heart? I have mild stenosis in the aorta. Also, would it be safe to take an Aleve periodically, use damp it or cold or mild exercise to help with pain? Thank you for your reply.

Madam, best treatment is to get physiotherapy and hot water fomentation. You can apply voletran ointment and take Aleve tablet occasionally. There is no harm of voletran ointmenton aortic stenosis. There is also role of steroid injection in the shoulder.
