NSAIDS anyone?

Ok, so who's Doctors allow them to have nsaids like ibuprofin, advil, asprin, motrin etc.? Mine won't let me get near them for fear of an ulser.

Marie mine said stay away for ever. Saralan

The one my surgeon allowed was Bextra - now it is off the shelves. Because of my Deg.disc dis. my GP has done this: She prescribed an ulcer medication to use as a 'preventive' as it coats well. Then prescribed an anti-inflammatory i have never heard of... I can't remember the name right now. I suppose it depends on the severity of need. I would rather get an ulcer than continue to lose strength and muscle in my arms because i have a pinched nerve in my neck..... really I would rather not have either! The rest of those 'regular' nsaids - nope. I also use herb teas to treat.... Nona

Marie, My doctor said not to use them. However, he says that taking ibupropen once or twice for cramping per monthly cycle won't really hurt. I haven't had cramps bad enough to try, but I take some comfort in knowing that occassional use is acceptable. Polly

Mine said no NSAIDS for the rest of my life... Kristy

DSer here- no problems with NSAIDS. I take them all the time. -joanne s 277/162/150

No problems with any pain killers. I can take them all. Excedrin, Aleve, Motrin, etc. I even asked, and my doctor said "no problem unless I have some stomach pain." Don't really need pain killers much these days, but when I do, it's nice to know I'm not limited. ~Laura
