It is very true, one must be every careful taking high dosage of any antiinflammatory medication like ibuprofen can and does affect your kidneys and liver. I was on 800 mg 4 tines a day for years and the a*# doctor that prescribed it one day after reviewing my labs asked me if I was a closest alcoholic for my kidneys and liver functions where bad. So to say the least I walked out and found a different doctor. That new doctor sent me to a specialist that was training other doctors in regards to long term effects of non steroidal, anti-inflammatory, and opioid medications. It took 2 years to get my labs back up to a healthy level again.

Just be careful and ask a lot of questions about medications. Good luck!

I take Naproxen for headaches and costochondritis but you must use Omeprazol with it to line your stomach if your using it for a long time... good luck

It will tear up your stomach if you're not careful!

I used to take Advil liquid gels like candy before I was diagnosed and they really helped but now nothing. Tylenol and Aleve don't do anything for me. My pharmacist said for the really bad pain alternative ibuprophen and acetametaphene. Haven't tried it yet. I have to be very careful due to my stomach issues.

I do. I just stsrted taking it. I took muself off of the pain pills with the help of my Doc. I stsrted taking....fog and naproxin at my rewuest. I do jsve a standing script gor 20 500/325 for the times when its just to much. I have the goal to get nack into an exercise routine. Don't missunderstand, I have plenty of pain but aftet so many years og high foses of opiods, I am ready to take another step.
I have done the gym thing e times. Each time ending up in the hospital for a decent amount of time. This time, very low key and no pushing. Not lecturing, just trying something different for me. Good luck and gentle hugs my friends.
