Limited movement and pain in left arm any non-prescription treatment available?!


Question:

Limited movement and pain in left arm any non-prescription treatment available?

I have had pain in my left shoulder and an MRI was done with the results stating "Mild hypertrophic degenerative changes at the AC joint level with mild bony rotator cuff impingement." In laymens terms, I have been told it is arthritis. Is this correct? Is there any over the counter meds for this as I am concerned about taking any type of steroid. Any information would be appreciated.

The doctor is prescribing a steroid


Answers:

Any OTC meds will ease the pain, but it is only a temporary thing. The pain will increase with time, and eventually OTC meds won't help much. By then, the condition may degenerate to the point where Rx meds won't be very helpful, either.
Listen to your doctor.
