What Causes Shoulder Pain While On Plavix And Metoprolol?
I take a variety of medications not related to pain. One is Plavix and another is for my thyroid. Also I take metoprolol to reduce heart rate. Recently I woke up with pain in both shoulders. I don t know the cause but two Tylonol reduced it. dIs this OK? Can I take more as need as long as I don t exceed two every 6 hours?
you can take one tablet thrice daily for 5to 7days.Gradually reduce dose as needed. also apply heat with a hot water bag to your shoulder. Do shoulder exercise . make sure you don't sleep in direct fan or AC. keep your shoulders warm.
take warm shower. apply relispray/moov / dynapar spray to your shoulder.
you should be better in 3days. Then you can reduce medication.
hope this helps.
