237053 tn?1258828426 Do any of you take a prescribed anti inflammatory? I'm thinking of asking my dr about getting on one. I'm thinking it should help with some of the pain...
Avatar f tn Hi, I have a question about an anti-inflammatory medication called Diclofenac for a person with Cirrhosis.
Avatar n tn Hello, Although x-rays have ruled out any fracture of the area but it can be due to soft tissue injury like muscle fibers rupture,ligament injury, tendon rupture or tendonitis.I would suggest you to apply warm compresses and take some anti inflammatory analgesic like Ibuprofen or Diclofenac and get a MRI of the area done after consulting an orthopedician. Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Warm regards.
Avatar m tn s not like ibuprofen is some miracle drug that you need to survive. And there are alternative anti-inflammatory meds that don't have these dangerous side effects. Aminoactiv is one. You might want to check it out!
965215 tn?1274955173 Specific treatment is based upon both the presumed cause of the synovitis and your level of response to anti inflammatory medications ranging from ibuprofen to steroids. Take care!
Avatar n tn Then in addition, anti inflammatory drugs can be taken like Ibuprofen or Acetaminophen but they should be taken under a medical supervision. Surgery is the last resort to go in for a hematoma. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
Avatar f tn I have a shoulder problem and used to be on strong pain killers, but my doctor told me to change to heat rubs!
Avatar f tn If you have liver disease, NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), like Advil (ibuprofen) can also be dangerous to take. Aspirin should also be taken with care because it can lower a person's platelet count. People with liver disease often experience a swelling of the spleen. This can destroy platelets faster than the body can make them. Taking aspirin will add to this problem. All benzodiazepines can harm the liver.
Avatar f tn Apply warm ompresses on the area and take some over the counter anti-inflammatory pain reliever like ibuprofen or diclofenac.Application of anti-inflammatory gel or cream will also help.
Avatar n tn I had carpal tunnel when I worked a previous job form repetitive motion and I used those at night, which did help some. Also the Flector patch may help as well. Its an anti-inflammatory patch that you put on where it hurts. I hope that helps a little at least. good luck to you.
1475492 tn?1332884167 I agree with Alex. Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory and large doses under a doctor's supervision might prove helpful. Contact your doc and see how he feels about using it. As anti-inflammatory it may cause an improvement in your symptoms (which is what IV steroids do) but like steroids it cannot stop the progression of the MS, just the symptoms. I hope you find some relief soon. If your doc prescribes ibuprofen, let us know what kind of results you get. Feel better!
Avatar n tn This is the same classification as asperin. The most common anti-inflammatories (NSAIDS - Non-Steroidal Anti-INflammatory) are Motrin (Generic = Ibuprofen) or Aleve (Generic = Naproxen or Naproxen Sodium). I agree - use only one of these. If you use Aleve be careful if you are on Neurontin because is a small amount of cases Aleve will interact with Neurontin and cause a 12 - 15% increase in the absorption of the Neurontin (I know this from first hand experience).
1187071 tn?1279369698 I have a question for those of you that can't take Anti-inflammatory drugs, my nerve dr wanted me to try them when I first started seeing him, it started with Nap and don't remember the rest and my knee is hurting so I don't want to get up lol Anyway I tried to take them for 3 days and they KILLED my stomache. It hurt so bad after taking them I just prayed it would stop. Is this why some can't take them?
Avatar m tn ve used 2 antibiotics - levofloxacin and metronidazole, and an anti-inflammatory cream - the Methylprednisolone aceponate gel, and a cream that has an antifungal, antibiotic, and an anti-inflammatory in it. That's a lot. Has anyone actually tested you for anything?
Avatar n tn hi,it's about 6-8 weeks,Anti-inflammatory such as Ibuprofen will help to release the swelling,Initial treatment should consist of an ice pack,but,now use hot pack for circulation.the gentle use of the quadricep stretch,I also recommend the use of sports support to speed up recovery time.Anyway,good luck!
Avatar f tn You might ask your dr for Voltaren Gel. It's a TOPICAL non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. I used it for the nerve pain in the tops of my feet with good results.
Avatar n tn Apply warm compresses, Neosporin ointment and calamine lotion and avoid messing with it.You can take anti-inflammatory pain killers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. If the lumps persist then it will be best to get it evaluated from a dermatologist. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist.
Avatar n tn Volini can be used for all kinds of muscular and joint pains, like back pain, lower back pain, knee pain, arthritis, spondylosis, neck pain, shoulder pain, sports injuries, sprains and strains Volini gel has proven anti-inflammatory properties which make it very effective in knee pain/arthritis Refer http://www.basics.de/upload-folder/faq.
Avatar n tn Many arthritis sufferers are in a panic over the shortage of Voltaren gel (diclofenac sodium gel) and I get why they are worried. Voltaren gel is a prescription topical anti-inflammatory gel used for all kinds of arthritis pain: rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and osteoarthritis of the knees, hands and hips. People who have stomach issues from taking anti-inflammatories by mouth can bypass that problem with Voltaren gel.
1182699 tn?1297574784 That's a good question, I've wondered about this often. Ibuprofen is a non steroidal anti inflammatory (NSAID). One of my guesses on what might play a role in causing some varieties of benign ectopics like PACs/PVCs is some sort of low level inflammation process either with the heart muscle or pericardium. There's quite a few reasons why I suspect it, I won't go into detail because I'm too tired right now.
Avatar m tn Both the medication with give almost equal amount of pain relief though meloxicam is associated with fewer side effects as compared to ibuprofen. Though pain relief may be immediate, anti-inflammatory action may take a few days to build up. Hope this is helpful. Take care!
