Experiences with

Brufen

GP is referring me to orthopaedics but has suggested brufen gel. I asked if it was okay with riveroxaban and he said yes intermittently. Does anyone here on blood thinners use brufen gel?

I think you should try amitriptyline and Cymbalta helps me ....90 mg Cymbalta and 25 mg amitriptyline.I also take tylex and Brufen at bad times. Very best of luck and good health Seastreak

I take Tramadol Paracetamol and was advised by the GP if I have to go out anywhere to take a Brufen 400mg along with the rest 2 hours before I go anywhere to see if that would make me feel a bit more comfortable as I hate missing family/friends celebrations.

I have also resorted to brufen, though I’m not meant to due to a severe stroke 5yr ago. I’ve tried ice and heat with little benefit. Does anyone have other options. also is it normal for the pain to go from mid shin to the outer thigh and hip.

Hi I am still supplementing my Prednisolone with Brufen and paracetamol. Pain in right jaw and head continues. I am so tired of being in pain. Next appointment with Rheumatologist is July 24. Spoke to my GP who is reluctant to change anything.

It’s potentially the Brufen I’ve been using that’s caused the rise in liver function, so need to stop that too. So basically nothing new to offer except to be put on the cancellation list to see the consultant, which she can’t say how long that potentially could be.

I’d been doing gentle exercises to try to relax my tendons and had used some brufen gel to reduce any swelling or inflammation. So all felt ok. I went off slowly for my warm up walk and then set off at a slow pace.

I'm taking Gabapentin, Brufen 6's, Diazapam and currently use mezolar matrix patches 25. And I am still in pain, I am severely overweight but I can move and exercise but after I get a nice glow of relief and a great boost in pride .

We have paracetamol and Brufen. What’s best and at what dose? We really need advice re the pred dose please - obviously he doesn’t want to up it as the reduction was going so well. But he’s in so much pain, would the pred help the pain?

Now I’m off the Brufen 600 it’s coming more to the fore?? Anyone else had both things alongside each other? Also I’m feeling quite light headed and spacey . I slept a lot in the day on Sunday so maybe a bug ? Easier yesterday but back again same today .

Yesterday was dreadful, pain everywhere and I seemed to have a reaction to brufen, very nauseas and off balance. Today I doubled my steroids to 8 and stayed away from brufen. Still painful on opening mouth wide and eating but nothing like yesterday. Doc is ringing back tomorrow to check.

The differences I made for the second cycle were: I started full dose regular paracetamol & brufen on the day of chemo and continued until day 5 I took clarityn (loratidine) once a day for 5 days starting the day after chemo I avoided exercise for the first 3 days after chemo (the pain in the first cycle

I have suffered with it since twisting my hip getting off a bike that had a really high crossbar- X-rays just show osteopenia-thought it was a lot better and did a bike ride and now it’s so bad can’t walk v far- is it better to take brufen than up my steroids again as am fairly stable PMR wise on 2.5

Iv since changed lifestyle stopped smoking lost 1stone eat good keto take vitamins etc etc but today iv asked for pain relief and specialist referral as paracetamol not doing it no more brufen messes with stomach and co codomol is hit and miss

I was able to stop the 800mg of brufen I was taking twice a day and was pain free. I haven’t had to return to taking brufen but my knee is still very swollen and stiff and my shoulders are still stiff. Will this go? Or am I expecting too much?
