Ibuprofen

Looking for some advise/help.

Spoke to a gp at the practice this morning about my Costochronditis and he said to use Deepheat as I can’t take Ibuprofen. Now I have looked at the can of it I have and it says not to use if you have an allergy to Ibuprofen and aspirin which I have. Can anybody advise or maybe think of an alternative I could use please.

Thank you

Obviously would need to be taken up with a doctor but administrator from the nash/fatty liver board (he has reversed his cirrhosis from f4 to f3) said his hepatologist/team say Tylenol if you absolutely need it (over ibuprofen)

Tylenol as a brand name and isn't available in the UK, I seen it's main ingredient is paracetamol.

Hi,

No one on the forum can advise safe medications for you to take.

Please discuss this with your own doctor who has full access to your medical history.

Heat pad.Hot water bottle etc should be safe.

Same as any other strain it has to heal itself.
