1323278 tn?1298122488 I was just today at my dr and asked if I might be getting rebound headaches from taking too much, but due to other things going on and my age and gender, he was more inclined to think it was menopause-related. GUess that's off your list though! I don't know if taking advil daily warrants an actual visit on its own, but I would defintaly bring it up next scheduled visit - UNLESS there is a dramatic change in the headache behaviour prior to then.. Good luck!
Avatar f tn It causes me to curl up, but it only last about a minute. I started birth control in June 08 because I was having about 60 days between my periods and it was very painful. Now I just got finished with my period that lasted 28 days. My normal discharges have started looking like they tinged with blood, sometimes it looks like there are clots in it. The other problems I have been having I'm just not sure if they are related.
Avatar f tn Ibuprofen and such tends to give me stomach pain and I've been On ibuprofen for years. Heat helps but just for the 30 sex or so the heat is applied. Other than that nothing.
Avatar f tn Pain comes suddenly (contractions) and she feels her legs go numb and then blacks out. Ibuprofen was not strong enough which is why she was prescribed Apo-mefenamic and needs to take these every 6 hours.
Avatar n tn I'm 16 and my periods have been irregular since I started(when I was12) they can be nothing from a month to 6 months late, and no there is no chance I am pregnant, I've been to the doctors and all they did was send for me a blood test which came back as inconclusive and stuff, I was wandering if anyone knows what it could be?
Avatar f tn As the above poster mentioned, Ibuprofen in any of its forms (Advil and Motrin along with some other pain meds--read the label--have ibuprofen) can help with period cramps. For me, acetaminophen (Tylenonl) has always been better. Heating pads can also be of use, but you can't sleep with one. You can make a rice sock (or get one of those pads that have them) to heat in the microwave before bed then utilize that to help as that won't keep heating up all night.
Avatar f tn ve been having very heavy bleeding during my periods and the pain is absolutley unbearable. i need to know what to eat and what medicine I can take.Every 2 hours or less i keep having to change my pads i also have to put two pads to make sure they dont leak out.
Avatar f tn Howdy! I have had Mirana for 5 years, it was well, weird! it hurt some to have put in, but was in and out of the office in one visit. My doc gave me a pill to "insert up my vaginal canal" the pill the night before the procedure, it helped thin and soften the crevics so the insertion would go easier. I popped a few Ibuprofen before I left to also help with pain and swelling. I had Mirana for the full 5 years and my periods became less and less, then disappeared!
Avatar n tn I have painful periods--not nearly as bad as yours, but the first few days are always terrible until I take alleve. I used to take ibuprofen but it is no longer effective, i had to take five ibuprofen and now it only takes one alleve every 12 hours. but it is damaging to take that much. I would suggest you reconsider hormonal birth control--my periods were very manageable while on it.
Avatar f tn 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 .
Avatar f tn I took tylenol this morning. I took Ibuprofen an hour ago . I coudnnt take it anymore. It was a one time thing and i feel so much better. Will my baby be okay?
Avatar m tn 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.
3122657 tn?1357432602 Ibuprofen is bad for our livers. Try getting a massage if you can. Bromelian, a natural supplement made from pineapples helps reduce swelling but it takes time to work. Also, make sure you're drinking lots of water, and getting some exercise. Try some yoga too. Pot brownies worked the best for my back pain.
Avatar f tn I have a infected broke off wisdom tooth during my last pregnancy my face swelled up and I was out of Tylenol so I took a 800 mg ibuprofen. Bad call for me but I was in pain and it was only once and everything turned out fine with baby so I was lucky.

Avatar f tn / I take a warm bath and just relax. Try drinking some water and lying on your left side. You can take reg tylonel . that's about it .
