Is Taking Naproxen Advisable Instead Of Ibuprofen For Pain In Rotator Cuff Muscle?

I seem to have run out of ibuprofen now - in the evening - and it s started getting tender again. I ve got a couple of Naproxen 500mg tablets - should I take one, or half of one? I am a 69 year-old male in otherwise goo health

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it is most advisable not to have more analgesic but try to bear the pain as hard as you could and try to treat the underlying cause of pain instead hope this information helps.
