ibuprofen gel with testogel

[ItsHectic]

Would applying testogel in the morning, and ibuprofen gel at night or afternoon to the same area(shoulders) be ok?

A rotator cuff article said to either ice the shoulder or use NSAIDs after rotator cuff exercise, but now I have read that ibuprofen interferes with muscle growth and acts as an aromatase inhibitor?
:think:

This info has been posted numerous times on this site, but worth rementioning:

Get MRI find out how your supraspinatus is doing.
You may have arthricic growth in the area.
Limit hand over head motions.
Do not do any cortisone shots.

I went to a physio years ago and they gave me strengthening exercises to do but they were isometrics which were a real *****. Went afew months ago and I was told its rotator cuff weakness and lack of scapula control.

I have been thru similar bs, they always try physical therapy first, just to keep you busy.
If you can get MRI of the area. It is about a $900, so if you have to pay on you own it may be a PITA.

If its not better after 6 months, I will get an xray and MRI.

I doubt its anything that needs an MRI I know so many people who have the same problem, there must be a very high figure for people who lift weights and have clicking shoulders.

I found the problem, the physio had me pull my shoulder blades down and together wich is good for shoulder stabability, so I found an exercise to target that muscle.
Scapular Retraction

Since starting this excercise just yesterday my clicking has been improving.
