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?
