I've been having trouble with my shoulder for years. I have taken prescription anti-inflammatory medicines, they tend to sort of help, but really mess with my stomach. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for an over-the-counter version. I've tried Tylenol Arthristis and it sucked. I use typical Advil now, but it's starting not to work anymore.

I like Aleve. It's not too different from Advil, but may work better for you.
Aleve = naproxin
Advil = ibuprofen
Both are NSAIDs, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
