Comment from: Tromba59 55-64 Female 6 months to less than 1 year Patient Published: March 05

I took this medication to relieve the pain from various joint injuries sustained 15 to 40 years ago. I found it works very well. I did have a serious side effect. This is in no way related to the drug itself but the necessity to follow the dosage directions. I started have flu like symptoms on top of the normal cold weather aches and pains I have every year. I got a bit loose with the dosage and developed some kidney problems that required medical attention. I do think that when taken as directed, this is a very effective medication for minor pain. I have been told to only take acetaminophen now which is absolutely useless for my pain issues.

Completely clears my skin from acne. Figured it out by accident when I had to take it for my wisdom tooth removal. Only thing that will clear it, but I found Boswellia to use instead as a natural alternative with less side effects.

I used 800 mg for lower back pain resulting from long car trips. I drove straight through 12 hrs the other day without back pain. No side effects. Works great for me, and had it recommended by two others with chronic back pain. I do not take the drug on a regular basis, only for long car trips.

I use it for tooth pain. Had two teeth pulled and it helps relieve pain. My Mom's Doctor told her not to take ibuprofen since she had a bleeding ulcer and he blamed it on this drug. he suggested Tylenol arthritis strength. I am having side effects right now; dizziness, stomach ache, and hard to focus. I stopped taking it and will call my doctor if the side effects persists.

I have taken ibuprofen for decades for chronic joint pain due to congenital joint defomities and severe DJD. I take it in conjunction with narcotic pain meds and it clearly gives additional pain relief, as it helps decrease inflamation. I do not advise crushing and snorting though, as it burns the nose and throat and is of no recreational value.

I take this for sinus headaches and/or general joint or muscle pain. I only have to take one (1) tablet which is enough to help pain subside; If I have a bad headache, i take 2 together to knock out the headache and repeat 3 to 4 hours later to completely eliminate the pain. I drink plenty of water when I take this....no stomach upset.

It was suggested that I try Ibuprofen for low back and knee pain last year, and was told I could use the generic, over the counter form, in lieu of the prescription strengths, if needed. For flair-ups I was taking as many as 12 per day (far less than was recommended)with very little beneficial results. However, within 3 months I landed in the hospital with diverticulitis, for which Ibuprofen can be a major contributor. Be careful!

I have enlarged prostrate with pain when urinate and when I do not urinate I take one 400MG pill all symptoms are gone for most of the day. The doctors say Motrin should not have any effect and if I take it regularly it would damage my kidneys. Has anyone had this experience using this treatment for BPH. It works for me Only worry is kidney damage

Better than M&M's, but ineffective for anything more serious than a paper cut.

I take this for sinus headaches and/or general joint or muscle pain. I only have to take one (1) tablet which is enough to help pain subside; If I have a bad headache, i take 2 together to knock out the headache and repeat 3 to 4 hours later to completely eliminate the pain. I drink plenty of water when I take this....no stomach upset.

I like it but don't like that it is a blood thinner.

It was suggested that I try Ibuprofen for low back and knee pain last year, and was told I could use the generic, over the counter form, in lieu of the prescription strengths, if needed. For flair-ups I was taking as many as 12 per day (far less than was recommended)with very little beneficial results. However, within 3 months I landed in the hospital with diverticulitis, for which Ibuprofen can be a major contributor. Be careful!

I have had good results with joint pain, etc. My cardiologist does not recommend it for long term use

I have enlarged prostrate with pain when urinate and when I do not urinate I take one 400MG pill all symptoms are gone for most of the day. The doctors say Motrin should not have any effect and if I take it regularly it would damage my kidneys. Has anyone had this experience using this treatment for BPH. It works for me Only worry is kidney damage

I use this in place of my pain medicine. It helps make my days bearable; cuts down on taking pain medicine.

I have taken ibuprofen for decades for chronic joint pain due to congenital joint defomities and severe DJD. I take it in conjunction with narcotic pain meds and it clearly gives additional pain relief, as it helps decrease inflamation. I do not advise crushing and snorting though, as it burns the nose and throat and is of no recreational value.
