ibuprofen
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.
This was about 1 1/2 years ago, neuro stimulator placed doing well with pain control using ibuprofen and Tylenol #4. However according to PM Dr. last 3 dit have shown increased amounts of hydrocodone. I take ibuprofen, Tylenol #4, Prozac, diazyde, devastating, multivitamin, exception, and a topical compound which is formulated under Dr. order. I do not take hydrocodone. I am allergic to hydrocodone. I am at my wits end, what would cause this false positive.
Anyway, these periods of suffering only last about a week before the swelling goes down, so its mostly just a matter of endurance until I can get the problem fixed once and for all. I alternate between Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen so as to not put myself at risk of damaging my liver/kidneys, but I find that my body goes through them at a rapid rate, while a bottle may say the pills should last 4 hours, it may only last a quarter of that at times.
My brother told me that his doctor said his kidney was not functioning as well as it should for someone his age. He also has a touch of scoliosis. Some of his organs are compresses because of the curvature.
The doctor wants to do some test. What does this Mean? Is there something that can be done? I am really concerned.
Thank you all.
I have been taking maximum daily dosage of generic ibuprofen (3200 mg a day, usually 1600mg at a time). I also take 600mg etodolac, 400 in the am and 200 in the pm. I have been having kidney pain on both sides, and excessive sweating. Could this be from taking too much NSAID medication?
ve heard a couple of doctors (not diabetes specialists) say that diabetics should never take ibuprofen because of potential damage to the kidneys, which, coupled with the potential damage from the diabetes itself, could significantly increase the possibility of kidney failure. I would be very interested to hear what diabetes specialists have to say on this because prior to this many doctors (fully aware of the type 1 diabetes) recommended daily ibuprofen for various problems such as back pain.
I try to have my patients take very little daily ibuprofen/naproxen as they can lead to kidney disease (based on total lifetime dose), high blood pressure (meloxicam) and stomach ulcers. Also, the anti-platelet effect of aspirin (which is how it prevents heart attacks) is reduced when taken with daily ibuprofen/naproxen.
I hope this helps!
No, codeine doesnt really "build up in your system over the days" although an impaired kidney (which you allude to in your post) may interfere with the normal metabolism resulting in an unexpected and potentially dangerous accumulation of the drug in your body.

This should be really be mulled over with your doctor.
I was diagnosed almost three weeks ago. I went in for a regular check up. While I had been having random issues for years:
GI
Skin rashes/hives
Depression
Headaches
Bone and joint pain
Etc.
This appt was just to get established with a GP after moving to a new city. He ran tests for Vitamin D and my level came back at 7. He prescribed the 50000 iu of D2 per week for a few months.
Yes, this is a known drug to manage CKD, especially protein metabolism. “Ketosteril should be taken during meals to allow proper absorption and metabolism into the corresponding amino acids. The serum calcium level should be monitored regularly.
Ensure the sufficient supply with calories.” So your mother should take them after meals and eat well.

I am 31 year old female and diagnosed with Hypothyroid when i was 20 and Hashimotos about 5 years ago. This past April I began to suffer from kidney stones and had surgery for removal. Just six months later I am experiencing some pain in my kidneys again. I have been doing reserach on the Parathyroid and have read that there may be a correlation with kindey stones and thyroid issues. Any feedback or websites would be very helpful!
state, I would not recommend taking more than the maximum recommended daily dose of ibuprofen. Also, if your kidney function is temporarily (or permanently) decreased due to your kidney stone(s), then any medication that you take can be more potent or toxic to you and the organs that metabolize the medication.
It is possible that you could speak with your personal physician regarding a "better" strategy for managing your pain.

Agreed... you should have a Urologist test your kidney-function.
High creatinine is generally a good indicator of poor kidney-function, or at the very least, reduced kidney-function.
Good luck to you.
I also have high blood pressure and take Ibuprofen (which is like meloxicam as its an NSAID), I was told to drink MORE water so that the Ibuprofen doesn't make the blood pressure worse. Its some sort of chemical thing, a pharmacist told me once. Ever since then, my blood pressure has been so much better. Good luck to you.
