ibuprofen vs relafen

My rheumatologist has me on relafen but said I cannot take ibuprofen with it for knee pain that I'm having. What can I safely take?

These migraines are triggered by falling estrogen levels in the body towards the end of the menstrual cycle. SAIDS like Ibuprofen, Advil, Motrin, Naprosyn and Relafen provide relief. The medication should be started 2-3 days before the beginning of the periods and continued till the end of periods. Because the therapy is for short period, the risk of gastrointestinal side effects is very limited. Take care!

Chiropractic treatment can be beneficial, but a good home exercise program can help on a daily basis. Anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen can help, prescription meds such as Celebrex or Relafen can be used as well. If you are under the care of a physician, discuss your treatment options.

Hi... I was diagnosed with ostearthritis & fibromyalgia a few years ago...and have been taking mobic since then, which has worked. About a month ago, the mobic didn't seem to be working as well.. my hands were hurting a lot at work... so I went back to my dr & he changed my medicine to relafen for the osteoarthritis & lyrica for the fibromyalgia. Although the lyrica seems to work, I'm not liking the side effects, puffy hands & feet & eye twitching...

5 and 160 pounds and the prescription says take one or two of the 5mg pills every 6 hours also i take iy with 600 mg of ibuprofen. I still dont get sleep at night bc of the pain and i dont want to take more than the bottle says...

Have you tried the fibro meds like Lyrica, Cymbalta or Savella? I have had a lot of relief from Lyrica and did not sleep well until I started it. D-Ribose (only when I remember to take it) really helps. An excellent multi-vitamin, vitamin D, C0Q10, selenium and fish oil may also help. Not sure what pain relievers you have tried but do be aware that Tramadol doesn't work for everyone. It does nothing for me. I take ibuprofen and Tylenol 3's as needed. I hope you find some relief.

He took an x-ray and found nothing. Prescribed Relafen and call in a week. This is seriously ruining the intimacy in my marriage and I don't know what else to do. Hopefully the next week will be telling. Any one experiencing the same problems?? What did you do??

Do people get hooked on relafen? Which is harder to get off of oxy5 or norco5? my dr. just switched me to oxy and I feel unsure about getting more hooked then I am. I am tapering off the norco,but if I rum out before I feel good I will have to take the oxy. I have been taking 3 to 5 a day for many years. I have about 20 norcos left.

Not really any difference. Vicoprofen has Ibuprofen with the Hydrocodone. Vicodin has Tylenol. Strength would be the same if they both were the same dose.

I was talking to my girls friend over the phone for couple of hours and got exited and started masturbation my self pushing & hitting real hard on the pillow for 30 to 45 Mins and erected finally. The next day i was started having pain in my root of the penis. I visited the doctor he gave cipro and relafen and oxicodon for 3 weeks.

i am to take 2 tramadol twice daily or as needed along with 800 mg ibuprofen twice daily. i have not found any resolve with this medication (i have been on it 2 weeks). i also have not had any typical withdrawl symptoms from stopping the vicodin. i have degeneration of my t3 and t4 vertebre and spinal rotation and of course subluxation. i have had 2 diagnosises and both times the prognosis was long term chronic pain. i have blood work done every 3 mths and it has always been normal.

I am currently taking a prescription pill for back pain, call relafen . Since the E.N.T. doctor couldn't do anything for me I was wondering about seeing an allergy specialist.

Yet another update to those who are helping... I had the injections yesterday and so far no issues other then Im a bit sore and a little loopy because I cant seem to remember anything because of the Niravam they gave me, to keep me calm during the procedure. Afterward the Doc gave me Relafen 500 mg with 2 refills. take 1 every 12 hours. Then told me he wouldn't be giving me any more Vicodin or other such meds because they have long term side effect, huh????? I go back in Feb.

First, go to an orthopedic doc, not your general practice doc. Get xrays, especially a standing xray if it's in your knees or ankles. My doc started me on Relafen (sp?) and physical therapy- The pills take the edge off the pain and the therapy will (hopefully) help strenghten the muscles around my joints. Good luck!

Hi. I have a positive ANA 1:16 speckled pattern. I have been having pain in both of my middle fingers with stiffness, but more in my left hand. Both of my knees have been painful as well. The pain in my knees are similar to the throb of a toothache. I have plantar fasciitis in my right foot and capsulitis in the 2nd metatarsal of my left foot, therefore, my feet always hurt terribly. I feel like I'm getting the flu (achy). My hips just ache all the time.

just had my 2 year old at the drs for a check following a fever and told him I'd used calprofen ( children's ibuprofen ) initially when trying to bring his temperature down. He hit the roof!!! He said ibuprofen is proven to cause kidney damage and should NOT be made for children at all, he's on quite a mission to ban it. Just thought i'd let you guys know. fortunately, i'd only given my lad 2.

To God be the glory! There is medicine that can help with arthritis pain. I take prescribed ibuprofen myself for my jaw arthritis. However, anything, like celebrex I've read is even worse, can affect your stomach that is in that NSAID category. I think I remember maybe it was relafen they said wasn't as bad for the stomach but I think that drug gave me a headache.

I was diagnosed with chronic esophagitis after taking relafen to rule out a muscle problem. My problem started with an inflamed abdomen and the doctor was not sure what was causing it. He prescribed relafen, I developed the burning symptoms. My symptoms sound like yours, burning and pain. The burning was so bad, I felt like I was waking up after surgery. The burning began in my throat which spread to my stomache. I too was given Nexium with little relief.

Clonazepam is good for pain and sever back spasms.

All Moderators and Dr. Murphy: Please pass along to management and Doctor/Expert Murphy what a NEED this forum meets!!! It gives people like me the chance to get another opinion regarding "nagging" questions that aren't quite "settled" in our minds. Dr.

Has anyone heard of any reactions to ibuprofen while pregnant?

Killer headaches, and never any Tylenol around. Ibuprofen can't be that bad huh? Got to go to work and this headache must go.

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.
