Ibuprofen and fractures
Common Questions and Answers about Ibuprofen and fractures
ibuprofen
I’m a 56 year old reasonably healthy and active male. This summer I’ve started wake surfing. Several weeks ago I held onto the rope a little too long while falling. A couple of my fingers are extremely sore and swollen several weeks later. I realize at my age it could arthritis, which I haven’t had any issues with, but would that manifest from trauma like that? I guess I’d have thought it would come on slower. Could it be ligament damage?

Please go to your MD and ask for another evaluation of the area, and tell him that you want an MRI because you KNOW x-rays can miss seeing hairline fractures. In the interim, you can help it out by elevating it and staying off it when possible. If pain becomes too much to bear, you can use ice packs or hot packs to the area, and take an anti-inflammatory medicine that's over the counter, like Ibuprofen/Advil or Alleve. Good luck!
I felt a jerk which was really painful in my whole arm, from my hand to my shoulder(right), i went to the doctor and i dont have any fractures but tissue injury. I think i kept my arm too stiff yesterday, i cant move it. Whole flexion and extension of my arm is really difficult, i have my exam 3 days later. I can move my hand though and write but i need help with the arm movement, i cant move it.
Last August I discovered a bubble on my left knee cap and was told it was bursitis. That went away with Ibuprofen. For the past few months, I have had a bad burning feeling in my left knee. It is there most of the time when I am at rest or up walking around. I am a Pharmacy Technician so I do not do a lot of physical work. I do sit at a desk most of the time.I do not recall injuring it. I went to my local Prompt care this past weekend and the doctor said it is not bursitis.
Hi,
I'm a 47 yrs old female. I have had pain in my left hip for the last 3 or 4 months. Some days I will wake up and can't move. If I try to keep weight off the leg it hurts worse. Some days it will be bearable, but a lot of times I just want to cry. There are some days it's just in my hip and other days or more it will radiate down to my calf. Standing at times help and sometimes it makes it worse.
If you go to an orthopedist, make sure that it is a pediatric orthopedist because your son is still growing, and growth plates are still active. Has ibuprofen helped with the pain? He also could be experiencing "growing pain", which is literally that, but there may be special precautions he has to take depending on where the pain is. Another reason to see an pediatric orthopedist.
I have had several sprained ankles in my day, but none of them have acted quite like this one. I injured it playing soccer about two and a half days ago, but I was able to continue playing, although it was pretty painful and weak for the rest of the training session. Now, after two+ days of rest, ibuprofen every 3-4 hours, and a bucket of ice water about 6-7 times a day, it's still very swollen, and pretty black and blue.
Two weeks ago, I developed sudden soreness in the top of my left foot and less frequently in the front of my left ankle. The top of my foot is tender to the touch and sore just behind the toe joints on the tendons.. You can even feel some knotting/bumps on the tendon that runs to the toe next to the big toe. I didn't do anything that I know of to cause this.. It developed over the period of a day.
Hi
I have a massive period ache , therefore I took 1100 mg of ibuprofen . At first I had taken 500 mg tablet but it's been an hour and a half and it did not help , so I took an other tablet of ibuprofen of 600 mg .
The pain is gone but I feel very tired , can I be harmed or die out of it ?
Should I ask for help ? Or has anybody been familiar with it ? Please help me , I am a hypochondriac person and I also have OCD and use Prozac .
whenever i take even one 550mg (naproxen) ibuprofen and then drink, my stomach gets tender and bloated and i feel bad. i usually take a maalox or something like that, yet i never throw up from it so i don't know if that's applicable for you. i think it is due to the ibuprofen, but if you're not used to eating spicy foods then it could have disagreed with you, not necessarily meaning food poisoning. you should never drink and take NSAIDs at the same time.
