Results:Ibuprofen was significantly more effective against human prostate cancer cells in vitro than the other tested nonprescription NSAID
"MTT analysis indicated that clinically relevant concentrations of ibuprofen significantly reduced the survival of LNCaP human prostate tumor cells. TUNEL analysis demonstrated that this was due in part to a significant number of LNCaP cells undergoing apoptosis. Ibuprofen also induced the same amount

Knee pain, would a knee brace help?
Hi, I'm new - to the community although not to OA. Since the covid lockdown changed my activity patterns I've developed an extremely painful right knee. Have had OA diagnosis since I was 40, now 73, and until this time I kept problems well at bay. Have been on prednisone for five years for polymyalgia

Any studies on longterm effects of live shingles vaccine and PMR
I was wondering if anyone knows of any studies that have been done about those of us that contracted PMR after taking the live shingles vaccine. I wonder if PMR will last as long in our system as the shingles vaccine antibodies are active in our system? The pharmacist says the antibodies last 5+years

Taking NSAIDs like Ibruprofen with other drugs
I've injured my hip and wanted to take some anti-inflammatories such as ibruprofen. I vaguely rememberred I was told not to take them at one poiints but thought it was because I was on betablockers. But amiadarone being such a 'fierce' drug I thought I had better double check. Anyway, I contacted my

Viral meningitis last month
Last month, July 2020, I was diagnosed with viral meningitis after being misdiagnosed with covid (by two different md). So it went on for about 11 days before being diagnosed at the tail end of it. Now, a month later I am still having grogginess and eye spots, major fatigue. Several other lingering symptoms

Protective role of ibuprofen.
Taking ibuprofen or aspirin lowered the risk of penetrance of the mutation in the LRRK2 gene, prompting less risk of developing Parkinson's disease. The study suggests that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs could be a modifiable determinant of LRRK2 penetrance. https://journals.lww.com/neurotodayonline

Toenails and PsA (there is a photo)
When I first saw the rheumy, he asked about issues with my toenails and I said no. My nails aren’t exactly attractive, but they’ve been the way they are now for so long that I didn’t give it a second thought. My finger nails all have very faint vertical lines with sparse but fairly regular splinter haemorrhages

Supplements for losing toe nails?
I’m sure I’ve read that being Hashimotos can cause issues with nail plates / beds. Ever now and again I lose toe nails and have recently been hyper and lost another nail again. I also have skin growing over the sides of my nails which is annoying. Just wondering if anyone can recommend anything that

Any particular concerns about having a boil on shoulder and primary lymphoedema affecting lower limbs?
Probably coincidence, but in 2016 I first developed lymphoedema symptoms in my right foot and leg. Shortly afterwards I had a very nasty boil on my shoulder which lasted several months but eventually (with help of antibiotics) get better but left a large scar. Now another boil has developed where

When to see a nephrologist?
I have had stage 3 CKD for 20+ years. I saw a nephrologist that ordered 14 vials of blood drawn. Due to a conflict in work and scheduling a return appointment I never went back. My GFR has remained relatively stable all these years. Should I be seeing a nephrologist? I have only had one doctor even mention

Does it sound like hemmoroids? Worried.
Hi all, 23 Female here, seeing a gastro this Thursday and very nervous but also anxious to have it over with. I have a history of lower GI bleeds, doctors have never been able to really pinpoint it so it was suspected I had hemmoroids, at one point had a NSAID induced bleed but no ulcers were found
