how long to take ibuprofen for inflammation

The alternative drug would be good old aspirin, which everyone seems to have forgotten about because regular use at levels high enough for it to work for fever and inflammation can tear apart the stomach lining and cause ulcers, but so can ibuprofen and naproxen. All of them can so throw off your digestive tract that even when you stop taking them you might have problems chronically, as happened to me recently after bouts on ibuprofen for a hip problem and then a tooth problem.

What can you take for the pain other then tylenol? What can you do or take to help with sleep.My first night I was up all night with pain in my legs also head and even my hair was hurting too it feel like someone just rip out a bunch of hair.

Hi all! I was just wondering if it was safe to take aceiteminophen chronically if prescribed in conjunction with a narcotic by an orthopedic doctor for degenerative disc disease (norco 7.5/325)? I have been taking the medication for about a month now and I'm starting to worry about my liver b/c I see all of the warnings! I never exceed 1000 mg of tylenol in one day with this medication. Please let me know if I am at risk!

s alright with your doctor- be sure and ask you cardiologist, take 600 mg of ibuprofen for inflammation when the pain is extra bad, but cyclic would likely be a bad idea (without even asking your doctor) right now with your heart problem, as ibuprofen can increase risk of heart attack, I believe. Alternatively, try a couple extra strength tylenol over the counter medication when the pain is bad.

I actually asked my doctor to switch me to oxycodone from the Percocet. Tylenol really upsets my stomach, though i know that's not all that common. I know many doctors who think the Tylenol actually helps the narcotic work better, but I think it makes more sense to be able to add it in when you need it. I always took (as prescribed) 800 mg. of ibuprofen along with my oxycodone and it definitely helps me.

immodium for diarrhea and advil (ibuprofen ) for headaches.... how are you doing apart from the obvious ( headaches and diarrhea ) ?

Thanks for the replies! I do take a beta-blocker, atenolol 12.5 mg QHS. I knew there was an interaction, but my doctors have all ok'd me taking advil....maybe because I take the atenolol for tachycardia and PAC's not for high BP??? My pharmacist told me not to take advil within an hour of taking the atenolol, so I usually take the advil in the morning if my heart is acting up...I almost get like a throbbing in my head...

The label on my bottle says to not take the tenofovir with ibuprofen. However, I previously asked my doctor if ibuprofen (among many other question I had) would be okay to take alongside it occasionally --- and he said it was no problem. Hmmm. What to believe? The label or the doctor? o_O Any personal experience with the interaction of these two medications?

It can take weeks, or even up to 6 mos to go away. Each sit is diff depending on what you used, how long, and what dose. Hang in there, I am. And I'm no peach yet either.

He wants me to take them for 3 days to see if it calms the nerve of the tooth....thinking it might be inflammation or if the nerve is irritated at me..lol. But I don't want my stomach irritated AND my tooth irritatied if that will happen by taking that many. So I don't know if I should go ahead and give this a try or just get a root canal.

s office to see if maybe they even caught some imflammation there and she indicated to me that it said everything was normal. I had to take a seat i was so blown away. That indication meant to me that I was to suffer with this pain forever. I know for a fact that this was originally caused by an std but they detect nothing. As I sit and type this my legs burn, testicles burn (especially when sitting) and I feel so far away from normal. Tired, depressed (i'm taking stuff for that..celexa).

Okay thanks for the info! I was mainly concerned about an immediate accidental overdose. As for the long term effects I've been taking up to 12 ibuprofen a day for over a week now so even without the Meloxicam I'm risking negative effects.

In 48 hours I took 2600mg of Ibuprofen. Before I go on, a doctor I had not to long ago said it would be okay for me to take 600mg at once or even 800mg as long as I don't make a habit of it. Yes I did read the bottle, I do ask my parents I even goggled it. http://www.drugs.com/ibuprofen.

I got diagnosed with epididymitis a week ago and the pain has just now began to leave. Is this common and how long does it normally take for the pain to go completely away along with the swelling? My scrotum hasn't swollen and i've had a ultrasound, blood test, and urine sample and all came back negitive for cancer or a tumor. I'm really frightened about it and hope that this is just epididymitis.

How long should it take for the discoloration to disappear? The discoloration hasnt really gone down significantly in the last couple of weeks , and is there anything i can do to help speed it along?

t settle and the doctor said DO NOT take ibuprofen just take cocodomal i think thats how you spell it lol. nothing will be wrong with your baby i was taking it every day for 12 days i was taking nearly 1 pack every day because of the pain i know i wasnt meant to but the pain was so unbareable i just kept taking them. but try and not stress your baby will be fine.

My two daughters take Celebrex as a person would take Advil here or there and do fine with it .. they both cannot take ibuprofen. My son cannot take it since birth as he gets bad reflux from in .. They make custom made ibuprofen suppositories if you really need a NSAID but cannot do it by mouth and they are wonderful .. you need a compounding pharmacy but my co pay was only $8.00!

I have been having chest pains that worsens when moving and touching the the affected area. Was diagnosed with inflammation of some parts of joints of ribs. Was told to take ibuprofen. The pain gets better but returns. R there other meds???

s or IBS related. As well, I use to take ibuprofen for the pain but I now know that particular anti-inflammatory creates ulcers and bleeding in our intestines! In fact the pictures from a prior year colonoscopy were outright rejected because I had been consuming ibuprofen periodically... I was diagnosed with Crohn's in the days when no one had decided to invent the catch-all phrase "Intestinal Bowel Syndrome".

Is 3-6 200mg Ibuprofen a day for a 3-6 days a week bad for you over a long period of time?

Do you eventually have the thyroid out for that? Will the swelling ever subside for good if you have hashi? How often do they do a FNA to confirm Hashi? I HATE THIS AND WANT MY NORMAL LIFE (WITHOUT SWELLING AND CRAZY FEELINGS) BACK!
