We got you confused now.
But personally, I would try the advil or even prescription Ibuprofen. It worked for me. I completely shatter my left arm and currently have 2 six inch steel plates on each bone along with about 16 screw and some extra bone from my hip. The bone did not heal right so it is impossible for me to completely rotate my wrist; therefore making it almost impossible for me to do straight bar curls or the Curl bar, or even typing for that matter. (and I did say almost because I will not let the pain stop me and the doc said I should not break the plates.)
The best thing that helps me is to get on advil when it gets bad. It will take a couple of weeks to get in your system but believe me it does work.
Good luck
