Experiences with

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)

Can’t take too many NSAIDs only ibuprofen with lots of carbs to buffer stomach, prescription NSAIDs are a killer for my gut. Already on cimzia, methotrexate and sulfa. Getting pretty down about it.

Without any other issues cropping up, will NSAIDs ever be okay to take? I'm not planning on binging or anything, so no worries. It's just something I've wondered. Same question when it comes to contrast dye. Will I EVER be able to tolerate the stuff? G

After an unexpected diagnosis of 3b CKD, my nephrologist is telling me to avoid NSAIDs. Unfortunately, several other health conditions find me in daily pain that isn’t managed with other OTC medications.

Because of taking blood thinners, most 'normal' painkillers are ruled out because they contain NSAIDs, leaving only really paracetamol for general pain. Or, if not, what do you use to help moderate 'normal' aches and pains? Thanks.

In the past no NSAIDs or painkillers have worked for me. Even tramadol had no effect. Not sure why I seem to be immune to these drugs. Metabolism?

My arthritis has gotten very annoying. I can't be on my feet for very long. Stage 4 Renal disease for a while now and tylenol really doesn't do much.

Although I got a migraine today, and the hospital gave me instructions not to take NSAIDs for 7 days since they removed polyps. tomorrow is Wednesday again so I’m not sure if technically its the 7th day? I can take Tylenol but it will not do anything to my headache.

Hello I have a question about taking NSAIDS while on ADT - up to now I have only used tylenol - I had read somewhere that NSAIDS subtract some effectiveness of the hormone therapy and I have avoided it - but with the amount of inflammation after 8 months, I would like to use some - primarily to let

hello all. i'm struggling with raynaud's, sometimes daily. oddly, sulphates trigger it with me, though i'm mostly reading about temp changes and things like quitting smoking (i don't). does anyone know if nsaids trigger it?

I am allergic to NSAIDs, grass, dust, tress and aspergillus. I have had a ct scan showing bronchial wall thickening (I am unsure what this means). My asthma nurse said they'll try get me started on biologics soon and most probably on tezspire.

I feel young to be looking at a diagnosis of arthritis, I can't take NSAIDs either, how to people manage pain? Especially hands and feet

I know I can't take NSAIDs but not sure about cocodamol. Paracetamol isn't cutting it! Thanks C

I haven’t taken NSAIDS for ages, so can’t be that. it’s just come out of the blue in the last week and I have no idea why! Really struggling to eat or find any relief from it..

I've had RA for around 7 years now and didn't get on with various meds and biological so try and manage with nsaids and pain relief. Anyway, for past 18 months- 2 years ive had about episodes of severe stomach pain and diarrhoea.

I keep reading NSAIDS are contraindicated for asthma. Does anyone know an alternative? I have curcumin but it doesn’t seem to help with pain. I also have hot and cold patches and stretching exercises. Thank you!

GPs just prescribed NSAIDs.

Shall I just make do with strong NSAIDS which do help till I get registered to new GP. I’ve lived most of my adulthood out of the UK and just wondering how to deal with resistance from the GP practice itself.
