arthrotec

Avatar f tn I cannot sleep longer than for 2 hours. I was given Tramadol and Arthrotec for the pain. I now take Arthrotec and paracetamol after suffering a vomiting fit. I am tired of waiting to receive an appointment to see the hospital neurosurgeon to whom I was referred. I was told to get an ambulance back to hospital immediately if I became incontinent or numb in that area. What does '...
513154 tn?1340225289 I have a question about Osteoarthritis and the pain that comes with it. Last November I had 5, 6, and 7 upper vertebra fused together and feel so much better in that way BUT i can't take anti inflammatory medications for my Osteoarthritis, Tylenol doesn't even help a bit and non of the arthritis over the counter meds help either. My question is... is there a non narcotic pain medication that I can take every day? I am 45 years old and very healthy besides my arthritis. thank you!
Avatar f tn It is just too much for me to go on without something stronger than the Ibu. and otc pain meds. I have SLE and fibro, cfs, and if I can I would prefer to not take the Lortabs anymore. Thank you again for your reply and I hope you are doing well also.
Avatar f tn tried enbrel, mtx, simponi, mobic, ibuprof. and more. Thinking of cataflam, arthrotec. If something has helped your ra pain pls reply. Narcotics are out I drive for a living. Thank you.
7530804 tn?1398546771 I havent taken any medication while pregnant but woke up feeling like I had been run over. I googled a bit and decided to take an Aleve about a hour ago. I feel fine and my baby boy is moving like crazy, I just wanted to know if anyone else has taken Aleve while pregnant? Or have been told anything by their Dr? Thank you!
Avatar n tn I ate 4 pills of Aleve, and had my period right now. Can I try to get pregnant in the following ovaluation period? Thanks.
Avatar f tn Very inspirational!! Well done, and I totally agree with you. Hot showers, Aleve and heating pad will do the trick! Who knew, right?
780647 tn?1304020942 I also see that a physician prescribed Arthrotec for you. Arthrotec is used to treat osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis in people at high risk for developing stomach or intestinal ulcers. Both conditions can be extremely painful which explains the symptoms you are experiencing. Have you began the medication yet? It may take some time before you see the benefits. Some times NSAID's need to "build up" in your system before they are truly effective.
Avatar f tn The lower part of my arms swell and are very painful. It hurts just to move my arms. I have like a burning and stinging in my legs and my knees hurt very bad. My hips hurt when I lay on either side. Went to doctor and done blood work and was checked for rheumatoid arthritis. Everything come back o.k. My back hurts when I stand very long. Only relief I have is when I apply heat to the different areas. Not depressed, but I want to sleep a lot. What is going on here?
Avatar n tn i have an undisplaced tibia fracture and the doctor prescribe arthrotec. i want to know could it slow down the healing process? is it necessary to use arthrotec?
Avatar f tn Tylenol that has no aspirin
393986 tn?1303825975 Hello to my Dearest Forum Family! How is everyone? I've been in a crazed writing frenzy of insanity! Literally! I am writing for an online paper, our local print paper, still trying to finish my book on Stills and now I am a freelance editor for a few authors who write paranormal, romance, sci-fi, fantasy fiction and many more. I get to read books before print, fix mistakes and get paid for it! Yeah, I am all over that like a fly on a sticky trap...
Avatar f tn The other thing that is important is to avoid anything that is an NSAID. So no Aleve, Advil, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Arthrotec, Celebrex, Naproxen, and many cough and cold medicines will also have ibuprofen in them. It takes a while to get used to but you find new favorites. I do still mourn the loss of the tomato though! Good luck.
1328595 tn?1283018449 Yup, I'm taking it with food and water. I'm taking the Naprosyn for a pretty specific reason but I could possibly ask my doc for another option.
Avatar f tn Then I stopped 2 nights in a row and tossed and turned all night. So, back to taking Aleve, and back to good nights sleep. For me, it's not from relieving pain because there is not pain. I too am curious why it helps me sleep so well.
Avatar f tn Aleve and Advil are both considered NsAIDs and both help with pain and inflammation. I can't remember the numbers on what not to exceed. Both need to be taken with food and if you take regularly, your doctor will tell you what to take to protect your stomach, some are OTC and others are prescription (I take prescription strength Prilosec.) Tylenol works on pain but not inflammation. It is easier on your stomach except for weirdo me ... it gives me terrible nausea.
Avatar m tn I made the mistake of taking two Advils the night before my knee surgery. I told the Dr. that morning, and they did not cancel the surgery and everything went fine. But you must tell the Dr. asap. Good luck to you on your surgery!
401370 tn?1233324682 I am on Mobic NSAID prescription and need to have bloodwork done ev. 3 mos for kidney function, and am told to be aware of any acid reflux indicators as a side effect not to brush off lightly while on NSAID's.
Avatar n tn t get relief from aleve, try another nsaid and see if it is more effective. I never liked aleve, personally. Try another and see if it helps.
Avatar m tn ll take more injections with more caution. Interesting though that the anti-inflammatory arthrotec and 25 mg nortriptyline seemed to do the job before the injections!
Avatar f tn I was eating Aleve 8 to 10 a day back then due to the back and neck pain. Could all the Aleve have caused this?
Avatar f tn I work for an Ortho Surgeon who specializes in knee and hip replacements and also sees a lot of patients with severe arthritis, he does use Mobic alot but also uses the Arthrotec. Find a good dr. and get some definitive answers then proceed from there as far as what medications will help you. Keep us posted and welcome to the forum.
Avatar n tn Stop Aleve now and see Dr regarding pain in shoulder and bloody stools. This is very serious and is treatable. See Dr asap!
5068589 tn?1363118326 I have been taking advil and aleve long term...at night both of them together. I just had my blood work done and I have 2pt elevated level on my liver numbers. Now I am worried. I have looked and I have many side effects from long term use of advil/aleve. I have stiff neck, headaches, issues with ringing in the ears, eyes. Aches and night sweats. Just wondering if I stop taking both all together WILL all these things possible go away and my liver be back to its best?
Avatar m tn i am on very high doses of morphine, oramorph, tramadol, dihydrocodeine, baclofen, arthrotec & some paracetamol for a bad back. I also have osteoporosis & take calcium tablets for this too. This has gone on for 5 years since i fell off the back of my old works truck. Oh & 2 lots of pills for high blood pressure.
