There are so many risks with pain medication, even OTC medicine, that I try to avoid at all costs. But I absolutely agree that 7 days should be the max for taking it. After that point, you really need to address it with your doctor, PT, etc and find an alternative treatment.
Well that was a timely episode! I was just wondering yesteday how many days in a row I could use this product. You answered all of my questions on the subject. Thank you very much Chris!
I had brain mets and had ibuprofen off and on for a year after treatment (helps with inflammation and other pain I had)....it mess's up your gut and after a while every time you eat it causes you to be nauseous, so don't use it for too long...
Love your channel & the help/info! However, I take exception to the repeated recommendation of milk! Milk is an inflammatory item, so to take anti-inflammatory med with a known inflammatory is definitely counterintuitive.
Been taking nsaid and or Tylenol for twenty five years my si joint hip leg sciatic etc pain I take 6-8 minis liqigels each day. My Dr. Prescribed 800 mg tablets but I could not swallow them so never filled it. And I took Diclofenac but got scared about bleeding so quit after a month. Used Advil for decades. It gets better when I take it otherwise can't walk. I'm in PT but
I broke my arm a few days ago and the doctor gave me nothing for pain and just said to take Advil. Let just say it’s not making much of a difference. 😔
I overused ibuprofen and ended up having kidney problems. This was for frozen shoulder during beginning of Covid and couldn’t get to doctor. I take 0 ibuprofen now.
One thing not mentioned here is how these can make you feel. While I find both acetaminophen and ibuprofen somewhat sedating, the effects of ibuprofen are far more pronounced. When I take ibuprofen at night I can also wake up somewhat groggy. Acetaminophen doesn't seem to have the same problem. And naproxen, to me is much harder on the stomach. And something not touched on is acetaminophen mixed with a muscle relaxant such Orphenadrine, brand name Norgestic.
Advil I call A devil. I was prescribed many things ,but God, I thank God that I don't have to take much pain medication🙇♀️, I do have spinal stenosis, pain in both shoulders,
Is it a coincidence that I was arguing earlier tonite with my ex wife who said I can't be giving ibuprofen for my 13yr old daughter who has 3 hairline fractures in her foot? She claims it's not good for her and she needs Tylenol only
My Dr. Prescribed ibuprophen for lower pack pain. I was hesitant to take it because I thought it was not good for my liver. But she told me ibuprofen is metabolized thru the kidneys.
I have a tooth ache that is immensely painful. Im already 1,000 mg in today and the oain is still very bad. Ibuprofen does give se relief but it only seems to last for 3 hours or so
Good info, thanks. I'd be interested in some follow ups discussing other common OTC pain killers. (Maybe you've done them. I should go look) I have some arthritis in my knees that I've been expecting for 19 years now. The doc wants me to not use NSAIDs if I don't have to because of the potential for it to hurt my kidneys long term. Using Tylenol at her suggestion, but was wondering if using a variety of OTC painkillers would limit what one of them could do.
I have severe shoulder and neck pain every morning stemming from a fractured vertebra 8 yrs ago, probably arthritis. Anyway I have to take 600 milligrams ibuprofen every morning to get through the day. I only take it the once though. Wondering how long I can safely do this?
Is it Safe to Take Advil after Expire Date???? If so how long is Safe to Take Advil After Expire Date???? Is Clartin 24 Hour Alergy Relief Safe after Expire Date if so how long is it good After Expire Date Claritin????
Ask YOUR DOCTOR. One approach I learned in nursing school is alternating ibuprofen with acetaminophen, so you can dose for pain every 2-3 hours. This is for more difficult to control pain, when you are avoiding using narcotics.
@Dave oh that is a terrible accident! I’m so sorry! As also having had some terrible accidents which permanently injured my neck and living now with chronic pain and discomfort I fully understand. When I was in my sixties I was still able to use those pain medications but infrequently. Whatever you do please do not do any heavy lifting or put strain on your neck with a hard or too high pillow. I can encourage you that depending on your age in 2 or 3 years, less if you’re under 40, you will improve if you are very careful not to strain or re-injure your neck. These 2 fellows have great advice.

I take hundreds a year for pain. Sometimes I switch to Aleeve, and or Tylenol. I also ice, use a tens machine, a small ultra sound machine, massage , chiro. But can’t get away from almost daily use of Advil. I read where Aleeve or naproxen is easier on the body?
I take 500mg of generic naproxen which is naprosyn it helps out a bunch. The aleve one is neproxen but only 220mg. I recommend it but only if necessary anti inflammatory drugs slow down healing when I’m not working i fast and let my body go through Autophagy. I was good for a whole year till I got this new job recently got a disc flare up and I’m taking neprosyn for now until I heal.

Bob is completely needed for this video, every time.
I took one tablet 200 mg ibuprofen at night for whiplash and concussion. After 2.5 months, I got hypertensive and stopped taking it. So watch your BP.
I took 3 just right now and I'm not even feeling any physical pain

I got what felt like a stomach ulcer for a month from using it too frequently. I take it way less now.
🤔🤔🤔 neither doctor nor pharmacist ever told me about NO ibuprofen when taking blood thinners!!! THANK YOU FOR THAT INFO!!!!!

tylenol will not help at all....just don't take ibuprofen for too long, gives you gut problems,its great for inflammation though.
I love Advil.... wish I could take it freely.... but I limit its use.... I take 3 200mg tablets a month at maximum. No problems.
My Dr. Prescribed ibuprophen for lower pack pain. I was hesitant to take it because I thought it was not good for my liver. But she told me ibuprofen is metabolized thru the kidneys.
Good to know
I'm so glad for this information
I have a makeshift setup similar to your wall anchors where I use elastic bands as well. It work ok for what it is, but it's better than nothing
I take 0ne 200 mg advil each night to help me sleep. Since it's only one 200 mg per 24 hours, can I take it longer than 7 days?

@@mmabagainme too
Ok thank you
You did a nice job with this video. Ibuprophen was my go to otc cure all for years. Ckd makes it a no no now.
I take a baby aspirin every day. Ahould I not take Advil at all? I suffer headaches and migraines. I typically take Tylenol for my headaches.
Just what i needed🎉
Wow.. I was wondering about this.
Goodbye, Advil!

I love your channel
Would taking the gel form of Voltaire’s have the same risks for stomach ulcers as the pill form?
What about COX 2 inhibitors like Celebrex or Meloxicam?
Advil tends to work better to me for pain than Tylenol. Why is that and should you take Tylenol with Advil?
Ask YOUR DOCTOR. One approach I learned in nursing school is alternating ibuprofen with acetaminophen, so you can dose for pain every 2-3 hours. This is for more difficult to control pain, when you are avoiding using narcotics.
This video says up to 8 per 24 hr period is good so that’s What I’m gonna go off of instead of 6 per 24 hr period like the bottle says.
I am anaphylactic to ibuprofen. Lucky me.🤨
Never ever unless you want to ruin your stomach and your liver.

Advil metabolizes in the kidneys but it is hard on your stomach. My GP recommended taking one Advil and one Tylenol once a day.
