Also, even with prescription-strength anti-inflammatories, it doesn't fix the source of the problem, thus not preventing it from happening again.
That's all I was saying.

Well, maybe you are right, though I don't know much about that kind of stuff. Would that problem also cause pain stretching, swinging a baseball bat, and overhead pressing?
When I bench, I spend a lot of time setting up with the shoulder blades pulled together.
