This one is a given. You have to use advil for the pain and inflammation. Be careful though because it can upset your stomach. For long term use it may help to take Omeprazol with it.

This was sooooo helpful when the meds alone just were not cutting it with the pain. It is also helpful when you start doing PT and your muscles on that side were not used since before surgery. A must for muscular pain after surgery or just day to day...
