Avatar f tn , Advil, Midol) should work better because Ibuprofen helps with swelling in addition to pain. Personally, I find the Ibuprofen-based only helps me with my back ache and not the cramps whereas Tylenol (acetamenophin-based) helps me with my cramps. As far as when-you-can-just-sit-around methods (perhaps in conjunction with the pain med of your choice): Heating pads can help. Curling up into a tight ball or sitting with your knees to your chest can help.
Avatar f tn ve also noticed this pain specifically in my lower right abdomen but the pain was on and off; I had been taking Ibuprofen too though, since I just assumed it was cramps. Two nights ago, I still felt that pain. It was a bit difficult to sleep. Yesterday, while walking the pain really bothered me. It was hard to walk properly and it affected pretty much one specific spot only and that was my lower right abdomen. It hurt for about 5-6 hours until I took 400 mg of Ibuprofen.
Avatar f tn I'm almost 13 weeks with my second child and this isn't going as I expected. My first pregnancy went smoothly. I don't recall any pain or problems other than having to get some dental work done. That was 10 years ago and this pregnancy is already completely different. I have suffered with severe constipation since about week 7. I take collace but that isn't doing the trick. Anyone use magnesium citrate?
658901 tn?1403814634 It could be severe constipation or a blockage. Ibuprofen is constipating, BTW. I would call your doctor or you will be stuck in the ER for hours. Let him advice. If it's just constipation, you could try Miralax and a Fleet enema or maybe a glycerin suppository. You want to soften what's in the rectum and move things along.
Avatar n tn I can have erections and ejaculations and all, but everything feels a bit weird down there. The veins and the dull ache have not diminished in the 4 days. I also have been having to pee a lot more frequently. Could I have damaged my penis? Should I seek treatment? Should I take ibuprofen or aspirin or anything? Should I 'rest' my penis and not engage in any kind of sexual activity until these symptoms abate? Will these veins go away? Thanks for any info you can give me.
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 Can Ibuprofen cause dizziness, ear pain, stuffiness, and feelings of passing out if taken several times a week?
7758733 tn?1402589420 Killer headaches, and never any Tylenol around. Ibuprofen can't be that bad huh? Got to go to work and this headache must go.
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 .

7381903 tn?1391464888 Ibuprofen is never allowed.. Tylenol is only option and now that im in third trimester the pharmacy told me that doctors dont even want us taking that.
Avatar f tn I had a really bad headache yesterday and took 6 200mg ibuprofen tablets ( 2 every 4 hours 3 times) and then I found out today your not suppose to take ibuprofen. I'm really worried, will everything be okay?
Avatar f tn Is 3-6 200mg Ibuprofen a day for a 3-6 days a week bad for you over a long period of time?
Avatar f tn I don't know if I'm pregnant or not but If I am can Ibuprofen harm my child during early stages of pregnancy?
Avatar f tn Is it true you shouldn't take ibuprofen it can harm the baby? I just seen this today while doing research as to this is my first. i have been taking it before I found out I was thinking my period was coming and I've always had bad cramps so I know to start taking it before my period comes to help with the pain. Should I be worried that I've harmed the baby from taking it? I'm 5 weeks BTW.
