Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly thanks for using healthcaremagic site , I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..
In my opinion i think it iis ok and safe as percocet is a kind of naproxen , researchers found that 500 mg of naproxen alone was as good as treating low back pain with 5 mg oxycodone and 325 mg acetaminophen (Percocet) plus naproxen, or a muscle relaxant like 5 mg of cyclobenzaprine (Amrix) plus naproxen. So i think it is safe to use it woth your kind of pain when needed , use an arm sling , hot massages with topical gels will be effective for you .
