My doctor thinks I have tendonitis in my shoulder and wants me to try Advil, but I'm hesitant. Been doing exercises for it and using tuning forks/sound therapy, and that is helping some, but some days it's very painful and keeps me from getting a good night sleep.
T C Hale is a Nutritionist and promotes Kick it naturally. Our Gallbladder and spleen can send pain to the nerves in our shoulder (s). He talks about bile flow and how to help it which helps our gallbladder and liver. My shoulder pain has gone away. I noticed it during the winter months feeling a nerve pain in both shoulders. Ouch.
Please do some research. I stay away from all pain meds. He has u tube videos.
Best wishes

Hi @A myPBCteam Member. Here's what I read on the American Liver Foundation website:
Many medications are perfectly reasonable. Try to avoid Advil. People with PBC sometimes do need Advil because they have arthritis or other injuries. Broadly speaking, if you don’t have cirrhosis, occasional Advil is usually fine. Many common drugs are perfectly safe for people with PBC, including statins, which are very safe. Tylenol is fine. There is no reason you can’t take Tylenol and other similar medicines that you might need for blood pressure, diabetes, etc. Once you have cirrhosis, then, of course, we are more careful with Advil and generally more careful with any medicine.

Pain management is an important topic for people with PBC. While over-the-counter and prescription painkillers can help manage pain, it's essential to discuss any new medications with your healthcare provider first, as they need to evaluate potential interactions with your PBC medications and liver function.
