Over-the-counter such as Tylenol and Ibuprofen are often sufficient in managing mild cases of shoulder pain. However, if the shoulder pain is moderate to severe and is disrupting their arm movement and quality of life, stronger analgesics can be considered. Opioids or narcotics can be considered as a last resort when other treatments have failed to offer relief or improve quality of life. Dependence and addiction is a concern when using these medications and patient should be closely monitored when prescribed opioids.
