User Reviews for ibuprofen oral

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

Only used it once became very dizzy, even had a fall while walking

I take this drug for joint pain.

i take it food in the evening from pain plantar fasciitis so i can sleep at night i take only during the day if the pain is to bad

I HAVE BEEN USING IBUPROFEN FOR 37 YEARS NOW AND IT DOES NOT EVEN WORK ON ME TO TAKE THE PAIN AWAY AND IT HAS INFECTED ME WITH THE EYES AND STOMACH PAINS NOW. AND ALL OF THE OTHER SYSTOMS. BUT NOW I HAD NECK SURGERY AND NEED LOWER BACK SOON.AND THE DOC'S GIVE ME OTHER MED'S LIKE PERC'S BUT LOW MG'S AND NOW THEY ARE GIVEN ME VIC'S WITH THE LOWEST MG. WHICH DOES HELP BETTER THEN IBUPROFEN BUT NOT BY MUCH. I DO NOT LIKE TAKING MUCH OF PILL'S SO I ASKED MY DOC'S TO GIVE ME HIGHER DOSE SO I CAN TAKE LESS A DAY OR IF I DON'T NEED THAT MUCH OF A DOSE I WILL CUT THE PILL IN HALF. BUT IT'S A SHAME THAT I AM PUT IN THE SAME BASKET AS OTHER PEOPLE THAT I JUST MIGHT GET HOOKED.SO I DO NOT GET PAIN RELIEF TO HELP ME KEEP GOING AND GETTING THINGS DONE. CAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY I HURT SO BAD AND WHEN I GET UP I HURT EVEN WORSE. I HAVE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AND THYROID PROBLEMS AND IT SAY'S IBUPROFEN WILL MAKE IT WORSE AND MAY CAUSE A STROKE OR HEART ATTACK THAT RUN'S THROUGH MY FAMILY AND THE DOCTORS KNOW THIS AND STILL WILL TRY TO GIVE IT TO ME INSTAND OF WHAT I NEED. IT IS A SHAME CAUSE DOC'S WILL THINK OF THEM SELFS INSTAND OF YOU CAUSE THERE SCARED OF GETTING SUED INSTAND OF YOUR HEALTH. THEY NEED NOT PUT EVERYONE IN THE SAME BASKET AND GET TO KNOW YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE. I BELIEVE MOST DOCTORS AND NURSES DO NOT HAVE GOOD COMMUNICATION SKILLS AND NO COMPASSION ANY MORE. IT'S ALL ABOUT THEM AND THE MONEY. SHAME,SHAME,SHAME ON THEM. I DO NOT TRUST THEM IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM. Read More Read Less

I am experiencing a NEW allergy to taking ibuprofen,not sure why, but within 2 hours, I develop full blown head cold, sore throat, and asthma symptoms. Scary. will NOT take it any more, but not sure why it just came on, I am 61 yrs old, and never had this problem before.

I take it for degenerative disc disease in my neck and back (I am 72), and "severe" (per MD) arthritis in my knee. With this med, I have NO pain and feel wonderful. I have been given vicodin for severe pain, but don't like the foggy feeling I get. I take the prescribed dose (800mg) of IBUB 2 times daily, but sometimes,I have to have a third, if I am overdoing it.

Given Ibuprofen for shingles pain. Helped the pain but now the shingles has gone for the first time in my life have registered high blood pressure so will never take Ibuprofen again. Hoping blood pressure will be lower when I see doctor tomorrow as it is two weeks since I took any. I also found it annoying that I had to eat something when taking it.

NBack and back pain and spasms

Advil was quite effective , and that is why I used it for such a long time, but beware there are dangerous side affect! I now have kidney disease, which the doctor believes is related to my use of Advil.

I had back surgery so the nerves in my leg an feet really give me a lot of problems but with the nerve med. and the ibuprofen I can do my day to day chores.

I finally realized I am allergic to Ibuprofen. I didn't put it together for over a year. BUT it makes me sneeze like crazy, itchy eyes, throat, runny nose, and brings on mild asthma. Just want other people to be aware so they are able to recognize this if it happens to them. It is absolutely possible and can become life threatening.

Ibuprofen 800mg given after a root canal. I suffered from swelling in my feet and ankles and edema and also VERY high blood pressure. 36 hours after I stopped taking it these symptoms resolved. This is very alarming because neither the doctor or the pharmacist recognized my symptoms as being caused by the IBUPROFEN .. they both thought it was the antibiotics.

I have found relief for my hi and back pain for the last 3 months but I am concerned about taking it for a long period of time.
