Ibuprofen my beloved. It has gotten me through some of my worst days. I often have joint pain caused by eds, headaches from bright lights, and painful periods and let me tell you, ibuprofen is a life saver for all of those situations. I've only had a few really bad migranes where it hasn't helped. 10/10 from a chronic pain haver.
I've used this medicine for years during my periods because the pain would be immense. But I was involved in an accident to my eye and head and am using it to treat pain. I first noticed a build up of anxiety. I started to see a increase in my bp..it was still normal but on the brink of pre-hypertension. I also started having palpitations and feeling it if heart climbing stairs or completing little Activities. I stared to get burning when I pee and when I wasn't urinating. All of this and I never suspected this drug. I figured it out when I had another panic attack for no reason then started looking into the cause. I was blown away by what I find out. This stuff destroys liver fur and bladder AND it affects the heart and I've been on and off of it since August 22 and it's the beginning of November 22.I've had blurred vision and stomach issues, diarrhea and feeling tired, it causes aches in which you're taking it for aches... This is a trash drug. It may take away your pain but ask yourself what is it replacing it with.. Cuz the side affects are awful! I how I haven't damaged my kidneys! And yes u do drink a lot of fluids.
I had chills,pain in my lower body.after I took this medication made me feel so good. Works great.
Broken finger it healed broken now having lots of pain. This medication doesn’t work at all
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.
I have suffered with headaches all my life and this medication is the only thing that has given me a better quality of life. I have severe anxiety and am afraid of most pills as i am very sensitive to them. The only side effects is gas and sometimes constipation if i am using frequently.
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.
My neck is fused (C2-6) and I have degenerative disc disease and arthritis in it. When taking ibuprofen 800 mg I become extremely agitated, suffer sleeplessness, and anxious. Will not use again at any dosage.
I have found this is the only thing that relieves menstrual cramps for me. Also take it for back pain. :) I have noticed that mayyyyyybe, it may be making me extremely sleepy hours later.
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.
very effective at relieving pain and no side effects whatsoever, have never had a problem with stomach irritation. have taken with or without food, absolutely no difference for me.
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!
Quite effective
I have had good results with joint pain, etc. My cardiologist does not recommend it for long term use
Have limited help from this medication.
