If you've got to the point when you can hardly walk, it's time for surgery. Stop taking over the counter medication and go see a doctor.
Ibuprofen is a bloodthinner. They say you arent supposed to take it...only tylenol. Because when you are pregnant the volume of blood in your body increases by 50%. If you were to have an accident, go into preterm labor, etc...you could bleed out and hemmorage. Causing lots of problems!
The past two months I have had intermittent pain that is usually on my right side that starts in my lower back and goes down sometimes through my glute and back of the thigh, but then i also have random deeper aching down the front of my right thigh/groin and then more occasionally pain in the left side of my leg. My doctor said it was sciatica and to not do too much heavy lifting but I haven’t done anything physically exerting recently.
Not sure this is sciatica, having had it twice. That runs down the outside of the leg. The pain could be hip pain, lower back pain, etc. but the swelling? That doesn't match. Time for a visit to the doc.
If so, next time you get a flair up, try taking two extra strength ibuprofen and see if that helps. If the anti-inflamitory aspect of the ibuprofen helps, then it probably is sciatica, and you can use ibuprofen (within reason) for most of the pain, and only use the tramadol when the pain gets intollerable.
That sounds terrible! I think you need to be seen right away by a doctor. The pain is more than a little and causing you not to be able to move around or do your normal life. I have been hurt at times but know exactly why. I treat the injury. You don't know why this is happening. You may have a nerve impingement (which is what sciatica is but nerve impingements can happen elsewhere as well.
Can Kidney pain be a side effect of taking Ibuprofen? I was taking ibuprofen last week consecutively for 3 days (400mg t.i.d) after laser eye surgery. A day or so after starting it I experienced mild pain/discomfort in my left flank that came in waves. When I stopped taking the ibuprofen the flank pain also stopped.
The next day I took one more dose - the flank pain started again within an hour, but was gone the next day.
I was prescribed just ibuprofen but it upsets my stomach so I switched to Aleve which actually seems to work better. My doctor said she was going to start me on Gabapentin so hopefully that will work...
s a but of my medical history, i have spent 4 years laying in bed taking medication for a herniated disc that caused sciatica, now I know the 4 years of neproxen ruined my stomach cause if I take an ibuprofen now I get a burning sensation in my stomach for a day, if I take ibuprofen and eat something spicy I get a bloated stomach and severe pain in the center of my back, so is this numb spot related to the years of neproxen, or is the something more serious that will cause it.
I just came from my dentist and he suggested I take 3 ibuprofen 4 times a day for 3 days to see if it would calm the nerve of a tooth. If it does not, then he suggests a root canal. My main concern is I'm afraid of the stomach problems this might cause. Do I have need to worry? I also take omeprazole to calm my stomach, so am I defeating the purpose? Thank you for your time.
Nothing of significance in the area I am experiencing pain/discomfort. Lyrica has helped but hast taken away the burning/pinching. Ibuprofen/muscle relaxers only occasionally help. Any ideas out there?
So, is there anyone with experience with sciatica that thinks that AH could still be getting the full blown foot pain of sciatica almost 4 yrs after? Once site said as sciatica 'healed' the pain seemed to retreat back up the leg so if his foot still has pain shouldnt he still be getting the same pain in his buttock and down his leg? He has said that his back is fine now... all that hurts is his foot and toe.
I went to ER Friday for terrible pain in my legs and back (muscle spams and sciatica pain) and they gave me Valium (5 mg, 3x day) and Ibuprofen 800 mg, 3x day). I took only 2.5 mg for Valium during night because I'm too sensitive to medication and woke up shivering and sweating heavily on Saturday and temperature was 95.72. I took it again same dosage last night and this morning my body temperature was 95.54.
Sorry you are hurting. So, no injury preceded this? Pain can change where we are having it as we sometimes will compensate for pain that starts in a hip. We'll walk different and then that will in turn make a knee hurt and so on. Anyway, this has been going on for a few days? Things to try . . . ibuprofen. That's the only pain reliever I'd take now. If there is swelling in the joints too, ibuprofen will decrease that. Stretching. Can you do any stretches?
