Naproxen is an antiinflammatory drug, and may reduce inflammation in the rotator cuff. In itself, it cannot heal a torn ligament.

Is tramadol used for arthritis?

No. Tramadol is not prescribed to treat inflammation, but to treat pain. It partially works by the same method as morphine, on opiate receptors in the brain, and partially works on serotonin receptors. Although it is not prescribed to treat inflammation, laboratory tests have shown it works on inflammation indirectly. So, it most assuredly does work on the pain caused by inflammation, but would work best when paired with an alternate medication designed as an anti-inflammatory (such as, Ibuprofen, Naproxen, Diclofenac, Ketoprofen, Ketoralac).
