I have rotator cuff injuries in both shoulders from swimming in high school. I have been training for an upcoming meet and my shoulders are starting to get bad again. They are almost to the point where I can't lift my arms without assistance from the other are. I started taking Motrin 800's to help the inflamation of the tendons and it is working great. I need to know if it will be ok to take one a day up to the day of the meet without them having a negative effect on my speed. Also ever since I have been taking them my thinking seems to be a little slower and I find it harder to concentrate. Is this a side effect of the Motrin or is it something else? Thanks -DieHuge     | ||

Any drug will have an effect on your performance. However, I would imagine that Motrin would only affect you minimally. Besides, it sounds like you need it to compete anyway. Good luck at your meet. | ||

Bro, I played competitive high school football and before every practice i used to take 800's because i was always sore from the prior week. On Gameday's i used to take close to 1300mg of motrin, sometimes more. It got to a point to where i went out for pregame and my hands started to tingle because of the motrin. It was great, during the game i couldnt feel a damn thing, No pain or anything. I dont think the concentrating thing has anything to do with the motrin. SO, in my experiences it didnt affect my playing ability and i doubt it will affect yours. Dont take my advice on the amount you take. I found out later that by taking that much before games i put myself at serious risk. Good Luck and i think the 800's will help ya with the pain. Later bro!!! |
