    Hi annita, This is exactly what my husband has done, he has tried Naproxen, Co-codamol and paracetamol. He has found the injection hasn't done him much good either yet.  His injury was back in February initially and he hasn't found it comforable either, he works in a school kitchen so lift, lift, lift!  Have you been referred for a scan as this is the stage my husband has got to?  He's been told to do sets of physio exercises to help him.  Good luck with your shoulder.

      Hi Sam

      Yes I was referred for an ultrasound scan which showed tears and spur plus inflammation. Have tried physio which did not help much. I sympathise with your husband as this condition really impacts on daily living, also disturbs nights. Not good!!!
