Avatar m tn The last thing the periodontist said to us was if we had to choose between the periodontal and orthodontist was to get the teeth straightened and if there was problem we could then address that problem.The last thing the orthodontist said to us was we should have a strong foundation to start the straightening process. We are now so confused we do not know which way to proceed. Should the periodontal work be completed prior to the braces or what???????
Avatar f tn I took my first dose of Alendronate and then experience significant muscle pain for the next 4 days. Does anyone know if I should expect this to happen each time I take it or is it something to happen for the first few times until my body adjusts to the medicine?
Avatar n tn Do you mean Fosamax (alendronate)? If you do, its for treating bone problems like Osteoperosis by adding bone mass and slows bone loss. I use it for Osteopenia.
Avatar m tn 5 centimeter supra-orbital bone tumor that has been completely stable on scans since 3 and 1/2 years ago. I have had a continuous intractable headache behind my forehead which has not responded to the usual headache therapy regimen. It is believed to be monostotic fibrous dysplasia of the skull. I have found articles to suggest that high-dose bisphosphonate therapy (40 mg/day for 6 months) offers a significant improvement in patients with fibrous dysplasia of the skull.
Avatar f tn t give me anything that was dangerous but I researched it and some websites say not to take it during pregnancy ?
Avatar m tn on day 10....today my doctor prescribed me Naproxen for my chronic back pain. I know I could search this, but would rather ask anyone with any experience with it's use. Good idea or not to use after 10 days clean. I dont even know if it's a "mild" narcotic or not, however I believe it's similar to Aleeve. Advice? thanks in advance.
Avatar n tn 00 PM, then in the afternoon the next day, I'd still have the equivalent of 1 unit of Naproxen in my system due to half-life metabolization. This would mean that if I drank alcohol that afternoon, it is the same as if I had just taken 1 naproxen on top of whatever I'm drinking. Yes? I would think so because the liver still has that unit to metabolize on top of the alcohol you are now consuming.
Avatar f tn Naproxen is just ibuprofen, which is Motrin and Aleve. I would think Celebrex would help a lot more than Naproxen. It can't hurt to ask for it. Naproxen didn't do anything for me, except hurt my stomach. The Celebrex helped a lot, right away.
Avatar f tn thankyou,i am with contact of my doctor ,he said there is no solution for damaged vertibras,but calcium and vitiman d and alendronate sodium/cholecaiciferol tablets will help spine and bones from further damages but what to do with prednisones i cant stop them because of asthma and taking of them will damage other bones isnt there any other solution instead of prednisones, i know there is nothing accept these because my doctor told me:(
Avatar m tn My pulse is exceptionally weak and my blood pressure is 156/90 after taking one (1) 500mg Naproxen and an amphetamine. I went and got my blood pressure checked, as well as my resting heart rate. The nurse never actually tried to feel my pulse, though. So I came home and I am very worried about how weak my pulse is. Has anybody heard weather or not taking Naproxen with an amphetamine can be harmful because it is not in the drug facts and I cannot find anything about it online either.
Avatar n tn Naproxen is similar to Motrin or Nuprin or any of the other anti-inflammatory agents that are used to relieve menstrual pain, and it is very safe and works very well. It is my number one choice to prescribe for dysmenorrhea. If you are at the point in life that you are "trying" you could still use it during your periods-- just not during ovulation. Good luck!
Avatar f tn Congrats to him for his clean time,and congrats to you for sticking with him through this!! Regarding the naproxen and his kidneys, I'm pretty sure naproxen is considered an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory). NSAID's can cause kidney issues. It is possible that he may have done some damage to his liver/kidneys from his abuse of the pills. How long was he using,and how much?
Avatar m tn s main ingredient Naproxen sodium is for the relief of inflammation, pain and stiffness. It is commonly taken by persons with arthritis. If you have arthritis you should see a doctor. Good luck!
Avatar f tn I am not diagnosed as rheumatoid arthritis yet sice all the test results are negative, but the doctor thinks i might be catching the early stage of the one. My doctor prescribed Naproxen. I took it and it works for the meantime but does it actually prevent from arthritis to stop the development of the disease or the symptom, or it's just a temporary pain relief?
Avatar f tn i get tired of being stiff, cant take naproxen anymore, makes my hands swell up some, so now Dr told me to take 1 moltrin in am and pm.. its helping a bit..
393986 tn?1303825975 t remember anyone else asking this. Ever since starting the steroids and naproxen, my stomach has been hurting like crazy. I have an ulcer and I'm afraid that it is now a bleeding ulcer. I am still unable to start the methotrexate, and now I feel like this thing is going to set it back even farther now. Is it unreasonable to ask the Dr's for the i.v. administration of meds instead of the pills?
Avatar n tn Correct. Ibuprofen or Naproxen, but not both. One or the other. I find Naproxen the most helpful, as it works more quickly. Aleve is a brand name for OTC Naproxen. Tyelenol is in a different category. Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS) are the ones you want to treat inflammation. Aspirin is also in this class. Again, only use one form of these and not all of them.
Avatar f tn Be really careful with all NSAIDS Ibuprofen and Naproxen are both NSAIDS. Mellie83 is right that they are hard on the stomach. I thought I was being careful in my use of the Naproxen the neurologist wants me to use on my migraines. I still ended up with gastritis. And, I already have GERD. You don't want to add gastritis to your list of problems when you're dealing with FMS already!
Avatar f tn s flare, severe nausea, loss of appetite, weight loss of 18 lbs in last 6 weeks,steatorrhea, pain in mid chest and right upper quadrant. Had CT scan 2 weeks ago which showed significant inflammation in terminal ileum and old pancreatitis with calcification. Gastroscopy last week showed oesphagitis.Biopsies taken. MRI scan Nov 2007 showed two strictures in small intestine. Gastro has advised following until I see him in clinic 23 July: Double my mtx injections to 25 mg weekly.
Avatar n tn sorry, naproxen, not novamoxin!
Avatar m tn I had a no-scalpel vasectomy 6 months ago. Recovery seemed fine, though I had a bit of soreness for a week or so. Over the next few weeks, I experienced more soreness -- constant dull aches, but sharper if I stood up quickly after sitting. The urologist checked and said there was some "congestion" in the tubes, essentially, and prescribed Naproxen, which seemed to help. After a cycle of that and some time off, the aches returned.
897070 tn?1320652629 Lived amiably with the darn virus for 38 years and then had my liver killed by taking high doses of naproxen for several years. Stopped the naproxen, cleared the virus. I have very big plans for my future and want to know that my risks have dropped. The only way I will comfortably move on is having physical proof that it is over. Dr. recommended that I wait one year after EOT to get the best indication. He will make the request because, naturally, he is very curious.
1001742 tn?1252685847 naproxen is a fine I would discuss any thing else with your doctor I would steer clear of the benzos they are highly addictive you do want to trade on addiction to another plus I thought there were some interactions with benzos and methadone that could be very serous even fatal..
Avatar f tn I’ve been on naproxen for almost 2 years 2x a day due to back pain and swelling. I have recently been put on Zoloft and was informed that taking both at the same time could cause stomach bleeding, but my doctor said she would put me on the Zoloft anyway. Is this safe? I normally do not take the naproxen every day but there are times I do take it daily for a week or two when my back is especially inflamed. I would like to continue taking both medications if possible.
