Hi, thank you For providing the brief history of your mother. As she is having this issue of shoulder arthritis and Rotator cuff injury, the medication will work for symptomatic relief and for a short time and no longer. Also, rotator cuff injury needs an attention because Every time the joint is going to move the pain is going to be high. Besides, rotator cuff injury is an injury where the muscle has a tear so may be an MRI should be taken to see how many muscles are ruptured out of 4. Depending upon the clinical examination and MRI scan report the next course of treatment plan will be taken. What I will Advise you is to try painkillers and along with physical therapy. A combination of both should get her good relief. Also, in my clinical practice I suggest patients a combination of both, and it works fine. Regard Jay In Chat Doctor.
