Common Questions and Answers about Ibuprofen and prednisone
ibuprofen
About a year and a half ago, I had a severe asthma episode and coschondrits for the first time. I was put on a 2 week coarse of Prednisone along with ibuprofen. By the end I had developed an issue swallowing pills. Even my small thyroid ones felt like they got stuck. Then it progressed to coughing up small hard bits of food, severe reflux, etc. After too much testing, the problem mostly resolved except for lingering occasional esophageal spasms and the thought that some was just hypersesivity.
I stopped for three months because I started prednisone. One day I tool it and had a moderate allergic reaction. My scalp, face, and neck started to itching severely then just about everywhere else. My face swelled then I went to the ED.
Apparently even with the withdrawal of the drug the proteins remained being placed on the red blood cells, so I continued to have hemolysis even after withdrawal. I was on prednisone for almost a year, and Prednisone worked but as soon as I was tappered off this med, the hemolysis came back. My hemoglobin went down to 4 and during prednisone treatment it was around 12-13.
Many of the symptoms you describe are side effects of the medicine you have been on -- such as ibuprofen and prednisone. The question is whether something is underlying all of this?
You have had testing but it is difficult to know what it means. it seems that your MRI would be important but I obviously cannot see it and therein lies the problem. I cannot tell what is atypical about it.
Lyme was presumably tested in your spinal tap and this does sound like it.
Orbital myositis is extremely responsive to prednisone. Medications like ibuprofen can help also (tylenol not really), but prednisone is much more effective. You need to find another eye doctor to consider this diagnosis and prescribe prednisone.
Note also that a condition called optic neuritis can cause pain with eye movement but does not cause the eye to get red nor the lids to swell. I don't think you have optic neuritis.
Now I am on my third dose of methotrexate along with prednisone. The Dr. is trying to overlap the prednisone until the methotrexate kicks in. Tachycardia persists and is relieved with Metoprolol 50mg 2 x day. I have palpitations and skipped beats. I'm very tired, fatigued. I have not been able to work since September of last year. CT Scan shows evidence that my pericardium is thickened but I am not constrictive at this point.
) It all started out of the blue, I woke up one day with joint pain EVERYWHERE! Within a couple days after many hot baths, heating blankets and ibuprofen, I saw my family doctor. This was when that swine flu was going around so I was concerned I was coming down sick as the pain felt much like those pesky body aches you get when you have a cold or the flu, but worse. I had a bunch of bloodwork which all came back normal.
Viral sore throat is best treated with rest, warm oral fluids and (OTC) tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen for pain. As you have white coating on the tonsils, you will need to consult your primary care physician for a strep test, which if positive you will be given antibiotics. As the infection resolves, the swelling of the uvula will resolve. In the meantime continue with salt water gargles and anti inflammatory medications.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
If you had pain, stiffness and swelling and the prednisone took it away, clearly there is some kind of inflammation going on in your body. There are over 100 different types of arthritis. A person can test positive for the RA factor and never get it and can also test negative and have the disease. Also check the labs to see if they tested you for a gene marker HLA-B27.
Had a TURP four years ago and urologist say prostate has not enlarged again but this is driving me to distraction. Have been given, prednisone, cipro, gabapentin, ibuprofen, pyridium. Nothing is working; well, it works for a little while but then it's like taking nothing. Feels like if I could ejaculate it would ease it but can't seem to do that. Now, however, the burning pain has moved down to the perineum.
Hello,
I cannot confirm anything without examination but it can be due to infectious mononucleosis. Infectious mononucleosis caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). EBV is a member of the herpesvirus family.Apart from fever,malaise and sore throat,it can effect the liver and spleen..
Treatment is with penicillin or erythromycin. Available antiviral drugs have no significant effect on the overall outcome of mono and may actually prolong the course of the illness.
I now have intense burning pain in the bottom left side of my neck/upper shoulder area. I told my doctor who put me on Prednisone for 5 days. He also took an x-ray and although a screw was not in straight, he said it looked fine. He told me that I irritated the nerves too early. Well, that was about a week and a half ago and I am still in a lot of pain. My pain pills, muscle relaxant, Lyrica, and Gabapentin don't even begin to touch the pain.
The report read read I have a herniated disk at L4 and l5. I had tried prednisone on two different accounts and it made no difference. I had tried chiropractics for 5 weeks and made no difference. I have an epidural done last week($500 no insurance). my leg is still gos numb but there is now less pain. I also take 1800mg of Ibuprofen and 50 to100mg of Tramadol a day. I have been off my feet and out of work 4 weeks.
She gave me antibiotics, prednisone, and albuterol. It has been 5 days. The fevers are just higher. They dont even get better with ibuprofen. I can't function. I have small kids. I feel to sick to drive to the doctor. I need help. My cough is a lot better, my chest doesnt hurt as bad but these fevers are killing me. Any ideas? I've never felt so terrible.
st day down to 1 on the last day) and I felt great, I assume I would also feel good if I take 1-2 Prednisone capsules daily till end of treatement.
Still didn't ask my doc about that.
Might be that he approve that becuase the remaining time for the treatement is only 9 weeks ?
It is almost impossible to be with this high fever for such a long time.
Would be happy to have your advice.
BTW - All blood tests are good, und since between week 6-8.
Thank you.
I did research and found a couple studies about methotrexate and the combo of methotrexate and prednisone for treating GM and discussed them with my breast specialist who also agreed with using methotrexate and sent me to my rheumatologist. We did a combo for about 4 months then slowly weaned off the prednisone and upped the methotrexate. I can tell u my breast are improving and its getting longer between flare ups and drainings (13 weeks is my record now).
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.
