Suggest Remedy For Frequent Pain In Right Arm
I am a 70 year old female. Approx. 3 months ago I was doing some heavy gardening....cutting, lifting, pulling, dragging many bags of heavy garbage. I have achy pain in my right arm which comes and goes. It sometimes wakes me up at night. Whenever I reach to a high cupboard I get pain. My research is suggesting that it is tendonitis. It isn t getting better by itself. 200 mg Ibuprofen seems to help. I am just taking it randomly. Can you help?
