Experiences with

Ibuprofen

I am taking Hydroxy I suffer with arthritis do any of you taking this medication use ibuprofen is it okay

I know that taking ibuprofen with pred. is usually not a good idea but I remember reading somewhere here (tried searching FAQ’s but couldn’t find anything) that occasionally it’s OK. I’m on 7mg pred. daily and have had a dodgy sacroiliac joint for years.

I'm down to 2mg of prednisolone daily.On Monday I tripped on the kerb after crossing the road and had a bad fall,I appear to have torn/pulled muscles in my upper thigh.I have been taking Ibuprofen 400mg four times daily(along with Paracetamol),I know I really shouldn't be taking Ibuprofen along with

I emailed my Macmillan nurse and she said “If you are not taking ibuprofen daily its ok - its ok to take it only if needed “ I really want to protect my kidney, any ideas for alternatives or is it ok to take Ibuprofen occaisionally?

Can anyone recommend a pain killer that isn't ibuprofen? It feels like someone took a hammer to my legs and hips, at different times of the day.

(Just too easy to do at 82) I was taking Ibuprofen which at least helped me get through the day until I read that you shouldn't take it with Pred. Now that I'm down to 1mg I'm wondering if I could go back to taking it again.

It does have ibuprofen in it. (Diclofenac..a NSAID). I suspect that the stronger doses of prednisone have been “hiding” the pain and it’s now surfaced a bit more noticeable. Just wondering about the ibuprofen issue. Thank you for any insights!! So happy to have this site.

Using omeprazole is a good way of preventing any ulcers caused by ibuprofen and ibuprofen can be hard on kidneys which needs to be watched. I have 2 stents., angina, ckd and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.. I work with my consultants to keep on balance.

It is not great to take too much ibuprofen which is what I have been doing. My body is also getting used to the ibuprofen and it is becoming less effective. I came across a supplement called PEA (palmitoylthanolamide) which is supposed to be good for arthritis and other inflammation.

My husband has moderate arthritic pain in knees and ankle and has used Piroxicam gel but he now wants to change to Ibuprofen gel which, apparently has fewer general side effects. Also, his research indicates that Ibuprofen gel is the more effective of the two.

Ive stopped taking ibuprofen like 4hr sweets. Slowly taking another to help with reflux. So far so good, staying warey. But positive for last few days 😁💪👍 stay strong all 😘. Health.

Can't say topical ibuprofen did anything, but she was trying to be helpful so I will give it a try!

I suffer with PN in my legs and arms it worse in my legs I am on Amitriptyline does of 10 mgs to 25 mgs I occasionally take ibuprofen which you have to not take regularly as it can have bad side affects are there other anti inflammatory safe medication to ease PN pain?.

Hi Does anyone know if you are taking Hydroxycarbamide it is advisable not to take Ibuprofen or anti inflammatory I am thinking I have read this somewhere.

I've had several surgeries in the past few months and both ibuprofen and acetaminophen were recommended for pain relief... Physicians know I am taking Pred for PMR albeit a low dose (2.5mg daily).

Hi tore a shoulder muscle playing with the dog question pre PMR followed RICE with the addition of either an Ibuprofen patch or Diclafenac patch on this type of injury would it be OK to use one now currently on 8mg Pred thanks in advance

Ibuprofen, Cocodamol & paracetamol have no effect. Thanks.

Think this backs up what has been said here many times https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/health/1944835/ibuprofen-warning-other-medicines

The patch and transform I put on early evening then at bedtime when I’m ready to sleep I take a temazepam 30 mg I have several as needed medications to use if needed; magnesium, ibuprofen 800 mg, Tylenol 1 g. I still have my nights when I can’t sleep, but this therapy is fairly successful.
