My right shoulder has been bothering me lately and I'm not sure why because during my practice I notice no pain or discomfort. I told my teacher yesterday morning. He looked at me with all seriousness, OK here's what we should do. He took a deep breath, I felt a little intimidated. Let me know if this offends you in any way. OK, what the hell is he going to ask me to do? I had images of rubbing stinky oils on my shoulder (which I would do), or buying strange herbs (I would try that too). I want you to take ibuprofen with dinner for a week and see if we can bring the inflammation down. You've moved through your practice quickly since you've started, the body is probably tired. Ibuprofen!? Sure, I'll take that stuff! I have a bottle on my bedside table!
I had to chuckle to myself because I know some people would never dream of taking something like ibuprofen or aspirin. Me? I have no problem with it.

There is more to it though:
Ibuprofen or acetaminophen in long-term resistance training increases muscle mass/strength.
Ibuprofen
Thanks Juhi, I didn't know that.
