Ibuprofen crew checking in.
Those of us with minor, chronic pain would like to keep what’s left of our stomach linings.
Naproxen, ibuprofen, arthrotec, pregabalin, etc. Used to be daily, multiple times. And tecta to protect my stomach from bleeding out my nose. Still in fuckloads of pain - always.
But by stopping the frequency i have found it helps with the tolerance. I’ve also lost maybe 75 lbs over 5-ish years which also helps.
My doc knows I have issues with other drugs and I’m hesitant to take anything more potent for pain.
I want the pain to end but I don’t want the remedy to destroy the rest of me.
huh? how does one pill of ibuprofen do that? or is it taking it like every day or a drug interaction
Taking it every day wears away your stomach and intestinal lining and you could get ulcers. Also generally it’s not just one, it’s 3-4. Sometimes multiple times a day.
