It's no secret that shoulder pain can be debilitating. The constant ache can make it difficult to carry out even the simplest tasks, and the inability to find relief can be frustrating. While pain medications can offer some short-term relief, they are not a long-term solution. In fact, there are a number of reasons why you should avoid taking pain medications for shoulder pain long-term. For one, pain medications can mask the underlying problem, making it difficult to identify and treat the root cause of the pain.
Additionally, pain medications can have a number of side effects, including drowsiness, nausea, and constipation. And finally, over time, pain medications can lose their effectiveness, meaning that you'll have to take increasingly higher doses to achieve the same level of relief. If you're struggling with shoulder pain, talk to your doctor about alternative treatment options that can provide long-term relief.
