I took ibuprofen every day for over a year. Ended up throwing up blood one night with no idea why, went to the ER and got diagnosed anemic, as well as the cause of the bleeding of course linked to way too much ibuprofen. could have died in my sleep at any moment honestly. The affects of this really should be talked about more if you take it in large amounts!
@@dylaanokay2980 generally 500mg, sometimes 1000 or 1500. The biggest problem was I would take it at night to be able to sleep and it would legit sit in my stomach, basically forcing a hole to get burned as far as I understand it
My dad was prescribed high dose ibuprofen to manage severe arthritis. He ended up dying from "stomach cancer". Prior to his "cancer" diagnosis (diagnosed 21 days before he died 🙄) he had repeated bouts of anemia and vomiting blood. To this day I believe ibuprofen killed him and doubt it was legit cancer. 🤷🏻
I donated a kidney to my son almost 16 years ago and was told neither of us should take ibuprofen because of potential kidney damage. I never got a good explanation on why until this video. THANK YOU!

@@nwilliams422 Due go a condition I have, I was born with a low functioning kidney, and have been told to take tylenol my entire life. Only take ibuprophen on certain occasions and not very often
@@blveflame iberprofen & paracetamol affects everyone differently, for me atleast taking both can’t even get rid of a headache, but can calm some achy feeling with the flu/cold. Codeine works a lot better for me if I’m in pain
my wife almost died several years ago from taking Ibuprofen everyday with Coca Cola in the morning. It actually ate a whole in her stomach and she almost poisoned her own body. The surgeon had to cut out the bottom of her stomach and reattach the intestine. Then it had a small leak and she almost poisoned herself again due to that leak. My wife is now in her last semester of nursing school and will be a nurse in December. We love these videos. I am the husband Greg typing on my wife's account. hahahaha
@@dtoad5576 Do you find it easy to understand? That´s because of the mastery of his explanation which definitely not everybody is capable of. How would you go about it? The way that only few would understand?
TLDW: Generally safe for the liver, it can thin out the protective barrier in the stomach but is pretty safe if taken here and there, kidneys are also fine but it causes vasoconstriction which can worsen existing kidney issues if taken daily for other issues. In summary, try not to take it daily or too frequently and you'll likely be fine. I'm not a doctor just summarizing his content.
I was so sick from ibupropan just thought I had a bad case of the flu. When I couldnt stand up i opened my door and started yelling help . My land lord just happened to be out and he got me a ambulance Three hospitals later a week at the UW hospital diagnosis was kidney failure, funny the kidneys usually are not talked about !
So in other words; as long as you don't overdose you're fine? That's a relief. I only take ibuprofen whenever I have headache, which only happens occasionally.
What about periods- same women have to take them when their period comes, sometimes it’s often because of the pain, it every month too, could that be hurtful?
Obligatory moment of respectful silence for the generosity of the deceased, whose contributions made this, and many other, educational videos possible.

Great to know that there are medical professionals out there that don't think we are all stupid, and are prepared to share the benefits of their expensive education and hard work, with those of us who chose other careers.
@@demonz6677 They are happening MORE frequently in certain age groups in the last few months e.g. the 20s & 30s. Christian Eriksen, the Danish soccer player, was carted off pitch in front of millions of viewers with heart trouble. There is a list of at least seventy sportmen who have had this trouble recently, way above the usual average.
For those of us who live with chronic pain, we really don't have much choice in the matter. I have 3 herniated disks in my lower back (for the last 36 years) as well as a seriously degenerated left hip (for the last 10 years). I've had one hip surgery, which did not alleviate my chronic hip pain, and have used high doses of ibuprofen to manage my pain for DECADES. Seems those of us who manage chronic pain using ibuprofen are damned if we do (do to side effects) and damned if we don't (living with high levels of persistent pain). We need better solutions to chronic pain that what is currently available...
Same here I took 20 Tylonol a day for about 5 years. No real side effects. But I also drank 3 to 4 gallons of water per day. due to my construction job. I was in my 20;s with a bad back. I was flushing my body of all the toxins drinking all that water
This is one of the reasons why I keep coming to TH-cam. The educational value provided by the narrator is phenomenal. I wish his videos are shown in schools for aspiring students interested in medical field.
I couldn't have said it better. I am truly taken by everything that came from this young Educator, I am really blown away by Him. Total Respect. You're the very Best Sir!
they should show these type videos in high schools and educate about the injuries of alcohol and drugs and addictions .- Scare the kids straight !!! :), wouldnt save them all but im sure a fair few would struggle less in life.
Thank you for this video! I'm 71, and I've been living on Ibuprofen for about 40 years. Next time I go to the doctor's office, I'm going to ask her to check my kidney and liver functions.!
That should have been done at least once a year! If you have Medicare, the co-pay is minimal. Once we hit a certain age, out body's mileage starts to show. I don't take the stuff as I was prescribed large doses in my 20s and almost bled to death.
You can't trust doctors nowadays. The tests they run are about 40 years out of date. Which means they'll tell you things are normal when they actually aren't.
@@OMGWUNSIU fr the amount of anti depressants and anti psychotics they’ve tried to make me buy for no reason is unreall. It must be worse for you guys out in US tho because we at least healthcare is pretty much free even if they are money hungry. That shit must be rough
@@tt._.7857 I’m on the stay healthy plan… lol. Good genes, zero drugs or chemicals and lots of organic food. I don’t have health insurance… too expensive. I keep away from hospitals and doctors… too many sick people around them. Had COVID-19 in August and I have no medical conditions so it was nothing really. I’m 63 and feel good. I prefer prevention and natural remedies. You can heal most things by your diet. Depression is cured by ACTION!
So to clarify for everyone thinking they have to suffer through painful cramps every month. It’s okay to take a couple of ibuprofen once a month for cramps but as stated in this video make sure you are staying hydrated. According to this video the real damage happens if you take ibuprofen every day.
I took Ibuprofen regularly throughout high school and college almost every day. I have sever migraines from my seizure disorder so I was actually given Ibuprofen for that reason. But one night I was sleeping, and as I snored, I could feel something coming up the back of my throat. Turns out it was blood and I was bleeding internally. I was rushed to the ER and the doctors told me I had severe damage to my esophagus and early liver damage, similar to that of an alcoholic. I obviously don't take it anymore but I watch how much I eat and stay from foods or substances that make my liver and esophagus flare up.
I took these for years and ended up with a massive bleed from my stomach that left me needing 4 units of blood. I had ulcers in my oesophagus, stomach and duodenum.
I wish most doctors went into this much detail on what a medication I am taking is doing to my body. I am all for medication, but the risks always feel so opaque.
I took Ibuprofen for headaches and menstrual cramps for a couple of years, thank you for educating me on the side affects of it. I don't take any pain medication unless I really need it and can't bear the pain.
For cramps and menstrual pains take magnesium supplements. Taking 2 magnesium supplements a day rather than 5 ibuprofen pills a day during cramp week was so life-changing!
I think this video is a great example of not just ibuprofen, but most things in life generally should be done in moderation! Magnesium and Potassium are great for controlling charley horse cramps! I don't use them for menstrual pain because I'm a man. To address the other comments above about how it has to be hurting pretty badly before taking a pain reliever like ibuprofen.... that's exactly how it's supposed to be! That's why it's called a pain reliever and most people are only in pain occasionally. Then you can take 2 of your ibuprofen liquid gels. Or just start with 1 ibuprofen and add a second capsule if needed. If taken in moderation it's completely fine. I actually had a stomach scan and liver/kidney scan plus bloodwork recently for something unrelated and it came back with totally normal, negative findings. I've been taking Advil/ ibuprofen liquid gels *in* *moderation* for 20 years, perhaps more. Sometimes I'll go a month or 45 days without taking a single one and sometimes I'll have to take 4 or 5 in a week... probably averages out to 1-2 per wk. Anything that's abused is going to cause negative effects. The gentleman in this video even admits if you don't have kidney disease/stomach lining issues and use ibuprofen in moderation, it's perfectly fine and won't eat away the mucous lining in your stomach or negatively affect your kidneys. Don't over-use ibuprofen and it's a *GREAT* pain reliever. Especially the liquid gel capsule form which I recently started using that *immediately* begin to work. My thinking is.... Because I normally wait until the pain is becoming pretty bad before I consider taking ibuprofen, then it might as well be a liquid gel that begins to work immediately, right? It's totally worth the little bit of extra money for liquid gels so that the bad pain subsides quickly and I can get back to work or sleep. Cheers!
Outstanding explanation; as a fellow physician I applaud your ability to explain something fairly complex (pharmacology) and do so in a way that a lay person could understand. Please keep up the good work and blessings to those individuals and families that donated their bodies for study.
His reply was, "Thanks, Dad." Personally, as a fellow human, I found this to be rather wordy and I kept hoping he could just get directly to the point. I felt he could have told us the bottom line in two minutes instead of long playing the matter. I think the details are important and fit with the title of the video, which is more than most TH-cam videos BUT I would prefer a concise, cut-to-the-chase version. If he just told people no real concerns for the liver, kidneys, and stomach lining and they could eat yogurt for their stomach lining, it would have been said and done and I could take my ibuprofen a couple of times a week and not worry about it. I felt like he was trying to impress his colleagues and Med School and I just want to know what Dustin Hoffman asked in Marathon Man, "Is it safe?" Yes, it's safe. I feel he gave me the green light to take it once or twice a week even up to 800 dosage. The problem is he took SO LONG to do it, not unlike this reply.
my science education stopped in like grade 11 but I'm interested in learning the micro-processes that happen in the body during these sorts of videos and almost no one else ever gives these details into things. there are like 10000 other videos out there that can tell you to eat yogurt for your lining and that it's safe. In fact, googling the question 'is ibuprofin safe?' could have told you VERY fast. I WANT to learn that ibuprofin inhibits the cox1 and cox2. If you want 'is it safe? yes or no?' no offence but you're just watching the wrong channel. @slingshotchicken4695
I love how excited and genuinely intrigued this fella is by things he has had to have explained 10000s of times. This guy has found the secret to career happiness.
I have always been wary on taking Ibuprofen even when I was college because someone told me it's harmful. Whenever I have toothache, I pop mefenamic acid and then, I was told that it's not safe as well. Glad, I'm off with these pains. Thank you for this very informative video.
As someone who lives with endometriosis, it's either painkillers or the urge to kill oneself from pain. It's a struggle enough to get a doctor listen when we are actually in pain and we have real problem.
In nursing school, our cadaver lab was MOST valuable part of the anatomy/physiology classes. Those who donated their bodies are treated with utmost respect here. Thank you, Jonathan!
I’m 65 years old and still Remember 98% of my A/P and Biology courses from High School and continued education we had a great system with great teachers.Of course we dissected cats .The only difference between them and humans was of course gross anatomy and the bone structures.I was so fascinated with it all I rarely made less than 100 on testing.I have continued to stay curious my whole life.Thank You for teaching me more! I’ll keep watching 👍
In 1977 (while in the military) I was prescribed Motrin (Ibuprofen) for "stress headaches." Migraines were a reason for discharge, so the doctor was doing me a favor because I was close to retirement. Long story short. I continued to use Ibuprofen, sometimes like candy, for the headaches, knee pain and muscle pain until about 2013 when I was diagnosed with kidney cancer. I had part of my right kidney removed and have been cancer free, I hope. In 2018 I broke my neck and still suffer from nerve pain daily. I still take Ibuprofen on rare occasions because it helps. My doctor checks me for any hint of cancer every six months. Bottom line, Ibuprofen works great for the pain but I limit how often I take it. Otherwise, I grin and bear the pain as long as I can.
Side question, why do military guys always say long story short but continue to give a somewhat long story? My retired Army buddy does this all the time and it cracks me up.
@@CenryHavill Because no one would stay around for the really long story. And if you listen to your Army buddy long enough you should know the all military personnel can make a short story long. LOL 😁
It is nice to see how much effort he is putting into speaking carefully while still maintaining accuracy. Well done! This is excellent scientific communication!
My brother who was an Ophthalmologist himself , past of lung cancer a few years ago. He donated his body to science.

@@tommurphy4307 Good eye there. That sounds like a compliment and an insult at the same time. Thanks for pointing that out.

I'm 68. I never heard anyone explain something as clear, easy to understand, and thorough as this. Excellent sir!! Thank you! I occasionslly take a 500mg tablet of Naproxin. But I was always afraid to take one because I drink 2- five drinks a day. When I do take one,I have something to eat first, and drink a glass of milk. I don't know if that helps my liver,or kidneys, or stomach, but I don't feel any side effects, but I will say the 500mg Naproxin works 100% to eliminate any pain. Like when I lifted something too heavy,and had low back pain.💊pain💨
I've been taking ibuprofen for 20+ years for arthritis and scoliosis pain. When pain was at its worse, I was taking 6 to 8 a day. After a SI joint fusion my pain level has decreased significantly and now take 2 - 4 per day. I never take it on an empty stomach, I always drink plenty of water and my doctor monitors my kidney and liver functions through yearly wellness exams. So far, so good. I have also learned that ibuprofen increases your blood pressure so be aware of that during your doctor visits.
@@mychellemill You’re still inhaling something you shouldn’t be. Yes it’s great for pain control and not as addictive as opioids, but still terrible for your lungs. No smoke of any sort should be inhaled. Fresh air is what should be going in your lungs.
@@OfficialSamuelC theres other methods of taking medical marijuana, ( I should’ve of stated that.) CBD oil or infused teas can also help slow down the progression of arthritis & chronic pain
This doctor explains very complicated things in a clear manner. If you have ever tried to do this same thing in your field you know how difficult it is to achieve,yet he does with ease.
@levimartinez6312 Nope, not even close. PAs don't have anywhere near the level of education that a medical doctor has. Plus, their training is completely different; doctors are trained in on how to treat and diagnose illnesses in the human body and PAs were trained in on how to take notes and on how to assist doctors.

Go to the library and get an anatomy and physiology book. When I was in school that book fascinated me to no end. The body is a very mysterious and strong entity but it’s also extremely weak at the same time. The pregnant cadaver was the most amazing thing ever.
A side effect you didn't mention is intestinal bleeding. I took advil periodically for joint inflammation. Never made the connection between the bleeding and advil use until I was taken down with Guillian-Barre syndrome. The bleeding caused an infection in my colon that produced proteins that closely mimicked the proteins found in the myelin sheathing around the nerves. It wasn't the typical case of GBS. it put me in the hospital for 10 weeks and left me with permanent damage to both my peripheral and autonomic nervous systems. I can tell you it's no fun not being able to feel the ground below my feet while walking.
Intestinal affects, basically perforation, is the first SE I think of, having worked professionally in healthcare for 10 years... unfortunate it's not mentioned as that is the sole reason I won't touch the stuff lol. Good luck to you in your journey. Thanks for sharing with everyone.

I have back injuries and was prescribed Naproxen 250 mg twice a day. I then moved to sunny Queensland in Australia. I started to get painful blisters on my skin. I went to a skin specialist who diagnosed me with Pseudo Porphyria, caused be NSAIDS and Oestrogen.
I remember one time I was 12, had to go to a hospital because of severe dehydration, stomach pains and rashes all over my body. I was having an allergic reaction due to an undiscovered histamine intolerance and was also severely allergic to ibuprofen. We wouldn't find out about that until I was being pumped full of ibuprofen by nurses and having an extreme allergic reaction on top of my already ongoing histamine allergic reaction. I still remember how weak I felt, that burning tingling sensation all over my body and not being able to eat or drink anything properly for three days. I got better, but had to keep coming back again and again, year after year with the same issues until we finally found a doctor who could diagnose my intolerance and allergies. I'm insanely thankful for the efforts of the doctors and nurses to keep me safe and heal me. But I really wish this type of stuff would be researched more carefully by hospitals and medical schools in order to avoid putting anyone else through so much pointless pain, so much time and resources spent and wasted, when it could all be avoided
I also kinda have similar story but with ranitidine. I was diagnosed with stomach ulcer then the doctor gave me ranitidine, after i drank it severall minutes later my stomach was suddenly so painful and started to diarrhea, then i felt dizzy and almost collapsed. Luckily i drank enough water to keep me hydrated. The doctor then changed the prescription into omeprazole
Doctors are taught what rockefeller wanted them to know in the 1920s. rockefeller was high on power and wanted more power so he put as many holistic thinking doctors in prison as he could. rockefeller pushed pills and surgery and chem to make the most money. This is called allopathy. I like naturopathy. It is not about making the most money and pushes nothing. Barbara O'Neill speaks on youtube videos about what our cells need, which I have never heard before. The video about salt water is totally interesting.
@@pureenergy4578 i was born and raised on tea, essential oils and salads, I know all about that kind of medicine. My mother used to refuse to give me medication or take me to the hospital unless I was crying in pain or bed ridden. The time I had to go to the hospital for histamine intolerance was one of the first times she allowed me to take actual, strong medication, but before that, I had to "work on my health with natural ways" (even thought I was a child). I grew kinda resentful of the whole Mystical Natural Essential Oil Solar Energy movement, not only because it became a gateway for antivaxx propaganda, but also because most of it can be just pure bs with no scientific backing whatsoever. I do look after my body with a holistic, natural approach and I still prefer to drink tea and soup before taking strong meds, but I promised to myself that I would go into any rabbit hole regarding the issue. Regarding my health, I only trust a handful of doctors, my own experience and official, trusty sources. Thank you so much for trying to help me, I understand that you had the best of intentions and I know there's some really great information in the source you recommended, but I'll have to pass on that one
@@MayorMcheese12 He has neither a Phd or a doctorate degree from med school. From his bio: Jonathan found his love for teaching in 2008 while attaining his degree in Health Promotion and Education at the University of Utah. During his pre-medical coursework, he took an anatomy course, eventually was asked to be a teaching assistant, and immediately fell in love with teaching and learning about the human body. During his time at the University of Utah, Jonathan spent many hours in the cadaver lab receiving training in teaching and dissection. For the last 15 years, Jonathan has continued to teach anatomy and physiology at multiple schools and at the Institute of Human Anatomy after he founded it in 2012. He has his Master of Physician Assistant degree and works as a medical provider in Urgent Care. When Jonathan is not teaching, dissecting, or working with patients he enjoys rock climbing, basketball, and traveling. He has great credentials and a ton of experience it would seem but a doctor he is not. Studying in pre-med doesn't earn you that moniker. Their videos are interesting, I'll give them that, but those that don't finish med school often go down the same route than the dude that crapped all over the chickenpox vaccine and ended up out of a job in some wacko nursing home in Texas a couple of decades later.
I've been taking Advil 3 to 4 times a week for shoulder/neck pain for over 15 years. So far zero side effects. I'm retired now so the need for for pain relief has been greatly reduced, thankfully.
Thank you for this video. I have kidney disease and stopped taking Ibuprofen and other NSAIDs *immediately* when I found that out. I never knew WHAT NSAIDs did to the kidneys, and your explanation put it all into place for me. I like to be informed and I am thankful for this channel! You have helped me a great deal!
My doctor prescribed 3200 mg ibuprofen daily for inflammation. I told her I was not comfortable doing that because the dosage was too high. She convinced me to do it because she said there was no other treatment option besides surgery. So I took it, and after a week, I started having bad stomach pain. My doctor was out of the office when the symptoms started, so I went to a different doctor who told me that I should stop taking the medication immediately because I was bleeding internally.
@arserobinson7118 it really is a ridiculous amount. I know now to not let doctors talk me into something that doesn't feel right. Putting that much medication in your body is crazy. Hope you have found relief 🙏
@@juliaf_ Yep, which makes 100% sense. Plus, I take three different medicines, so it lets my doctor know which one is doing what it should be and which isn't. So he can adjust them accordingly and not just throw a can of paint on the wall, so to speak. It's been a long process, but I'm so much happier with the progress than with previous psychiatrists.
My psychiatrist said go big or stay home. I do 40 a day, never feel any pain at all.... or come to think? nothing much either actually. Hmmmmmm? I always wondered about that lucky elephant popcorn logo on his wall diploma
The main thing to remember with any drug, whether over the counter or prescription, is to use it as needed. If you have too much of it in a dose or take it too often when you're otherwise feeling fine, it will of course cause health problems.
@@yvngearl3037 exactly! We have a natural immune system for a reason. All these chemicals pumped into us since birth is what keeps both our minds and bodies from achieving and reaching their full capabilities. We’d essentially be living gods if we manifested that natural power hidden within us.
This video is a very good reminder that biology is a complex thing, based on endless interactions between entities. No matter how hard we try to create products that benefit us, there will always be a point where it can become dangerous, because it's all a matter of equilibrium to make everything work smoothly, and these products offset that balance just as much as the afflictions we can encounter. Always be careful with your body, that's how it'll last to the fullest of its abilities.
This dude is brilliant! He takes the complex and breaks it down so that everyone can follow (who isn't allowing themselves distracted by 14 million other things).
Thank you for this informative and helpful learning video. You must know by now your teaching style is highly effective. The "show and tell" aspect helps drive home the points you are trying to make. It's quite enlightening how you help us visualize the body's reaction to NSAID's on a multi-organ standpoint. Your voice and bearing induce an almost hypnotic effect on the learners and make us want to stick around to see just where you are going. Kudos, sir! I only subscribe to the best and you are worthy. Lol.
Not bad for kidneys, only the potential to be, under some circumstances. Transplant patirents could be at a higher risk perhaps, but your personal Dr should let you know.
One of the things that i love about this channel is that they always keep repeating simple things like what a saggital cut is or a cortex. Repeating it helps me remember too :).
This has to be the best presentation format for medical study anywhere on the internet. I feel like what you describe in this way is more retainable than with 2D (or even 3D) graphics. Its a mixture of your bringing out process details and showing the physical layout simultaneously. I don't know if this is true for others, but for me it works great!
Odd how I as a layman (I study computer science rather than medical science) never sees or hears how organs actually operate in the body, this is truly a valuable resource.
Your knowledge about the human body is simply amazing. The amount of time that you spent acquiring this knowledge must have been monumental. I bet your parents are so proud of you.
@@davisholman8149 bit of an immature response. Are you jealous of his fame. If you know more and want to share your knowledge then enlighten us with videos.
This video is a great example of the placebo effect. You said that the drug takes 30-60 minutes to be absorbed, and yet I tend to feel the pain reduced in 30-60 seconds

Not sure how this video ended up making its way to my suggested videos but I’m glad it did. I’ve always heard the side effects but never the “why.” Today I got my answer. Glad I only take the stuff as needed, low and slow. One 200mg pill to start, and another 45-90mins later if I still have pain. Generally speaking I try to stay away from any form of medicine unless absolutely necessary.
And yet so many people will watch this and be cautious about Ibuprofen and then take a jab with who knows what in it for a flu like thing, with a 99.86 percent survival rate.
I’m so glad you are sharing this. I was taking Tylenol, ibuprofen and Aleve for sciatic pain. I started taking 1 Tylenol every other day, and sometimes times I’d switch and take ibuprofen. I increased to taking ibuprofen 1 every day. Within 6 months lab reports showed my liver enzymes increased from 22 to 153. I’m 75 and don’t take any other medication. I stopped taking all ANSIDS. Thank God all other vitals are good.
Hi @Glorious353. I'm curious. What did you do to alleviate the sciatic pain? I suffer from the same thing caused by a lower back issue. Not much gives me relief, and I often worry about my ibuprofen consumption.
For the pain.... ADD Salmon, cod liver oil, and any other omega 3s! REMOVE ALL pro inflammatories from your diet- especially vegetable oil, canola oil, cheap olive oils (good quality organic is fine for EVOO), sugar (that's a big one!), and carbs! Try eating a Mediterranean/healthy keto style for meals. For activities- start a garden, practice deep belly breathing, destress your regular schedule If you HAVE to have bread or pasta- make it from scratch if not with freshly milled flour at least use unbleached. For eggs dairy and meat products switch to locally farmed- the additives in the grocery store meat and dairy will cause pain and digestive issues. Digestive issues lead to low back and hip pain- including sciatica Need a sweetener? Use local honey (this will also take care of seasonal allergies!) or a good quality maple We need to get back to a more simple way of life, the way we live and eat is causing us so much unnecessary pain and suffering.

9:20 This is what happened to me. The Army had me on Ibuprofen (800mg) and Tramadol (50mg) for pain management for almost 10years. Combine that with the excess of alcohol I was drinking to help combat the pain and I've really done a number on my stomach. They told me I have Gastritis with Metaplasia, which I was told meant I was one step from stomach cancer. I got this diagnosis 5 years ago, and I'm still trying to fix my stomach. Like a comment below, I woke up one morning and vomited a large amount of bright red blood. I felt like I was dying at the time.
Thank you for this particular video because it hits home for me. I have ESRD, on my 2nd renal transplant, and now I understand why my nephrologist told me that Ibuprofen is bad for renal patients. I love the clear explanation of every step of the process. It blows mind that science can be able to explain all this. Thanks to all who are involved in research, including the donors who donate their bodies to science.
Isn't the internet wonderful I love it I'm currently working on my legs and my feet because I may have to have surgery but I can actually move much better now and I'm in less pain and it's easier than paying $150 to somebody. I love these videos I hope you feel better soon
Used to take it all the time for chronic pain. The side effect that made me stop using it all the time was high blood pressure. Stopped taking it and my blood pressure came down to a very healthy, normal level. Great video, thank you.
should think about taking some nattokinase acouple capsules once a month. The blood clotting factors build up over time and makes the blood thicker than it should be and raises blood pressure. It's extremely easy to address that specific factor which can go a long way.
And i got perforated intestines 2 years ago, because , this is really a terrible poison, ... today i had 2 took another pill of 600 mg , because my own medicines were not fast enough , but, i will avoid it in the Future as Much as Possible, after seeing this video !!! ! !!!
thats while at rest. having it monitored while walking/running on a treadmill is a more accurate way of gauging overall health and fitness. the only problem there is the doctor, nurse, or technician must make a judgement call as to what the limit is for each person. i have hypertension- so my BP usually runs high. i was at 200/100 inches with sustained exertion on a treadmill stress test with the treadmill at 85% speed. good for an average 65-year-old, but the tech would not let me run it at 100%. they never will except with young, fit athletes. i dared her to crank it up- but she wouldn't do it without a doctor present in the room. with real hypertension, pretty much ALL pain medications are forbidden as they tend to push the BP higher. highest i've ever had was 225/150 inches (at rest!). i usually get close to it when riding my bicycle but thats a little different as it's under exertion. i take lisinopril and carvedilol to control my BP- my doctor put me on a diuretic, as well, but i put a stop to it after two years- something you should only do with the supervision of your doctor or cardiologist.
@@tommurphy4307 Should think about taking 2.5-5grams of lysine and a few grams of vitamin C a day. It dissolves plaque slowly overtime and of course are as benign as it gets for safe supplements. They are also what the body uses to produce collagen and it helps make the blood vessels healthy and flexable they do a bunch of stuff. Nattokinase is great too to take acouple every few weeks to reduce the clotting factors that build up in the blood but you'll have to look up if that's safe with your meds might thin your blood too much. It's a enzyme. Also using potassium chloride salt as in just a dash or two on food nothing crazy or a half and half mixture with normal table salt is helpful too for lowering blood pressure.
So glad information like this is available. It's insane to me that acetaminophen and ibuprofen are so easily accessible and misused!! They can be so very dangerous. Thanks for the deeper dive into this information!!
Gasoline is also easily accessible and much more dangerous. If you're capable of reading a warning label, then you will be fine. The people who misuse these types of substances are the type of people that don't look both ways before crossing the street. Not really a concern the the general educated public.
@@flyingtentacle7631 exactly. It's a pretty stupid notion than just because some people aren't safe or smart about it, that other people should have to go through the trouble of getting a prescription just to take a little bit of ibuprofen for a headache when they need it.
@@flyingtentacle7631 Completely missed my point. Also, comparing apples to oranges much? Gasoline v. medication? Not even the same class of substance. lol There's a huge misconception of simple OTC drugs. It has nothing to do with educated people. People accidentally OD all the time. It's not okay? I mean, yes, it's stupid of them, but idk. Anyway. I still feel like it's too easy. I've heard doctors say the same thing, so... 🤷♂️
@@Mt_Vesuvius Truly, we shouldn't take it unless absolutely necessary. It's just not a healthy habit. I just hate how reliant on meds we are. They mask or fix problems, but can create new ones. Of course, everybody is free to do what they think they should. Just my two cents.
if you took it every day, thats the point when ibuprofen will be really dangerous ( i mean 1-3 pills per day) but if you got a headache for example 1-2 days per month, you should take it easily :) and there is no need to worry about smth :)
Incredible informative video. This is the only medication Ive taken in the past several years, and it was really cool to get a much more in depth analysis of how it works and possible side effects.
I believe it’s half of the reason why my body broke down ten years ago along with chronic stress. I used to eat the stuff along with Excedrin and sometimes Aleve but that didn’t work well on my pain so I mostly took Advil and Excedrin. For many years and rarely two. Always needed three, sometimes four. I had bad back pain and hip pain. I got horrible neck aches and headaches and migraines. So at 47 or so I had heartburn and found out I had Barrett’s Disease. Other than the incessant over the counter drug usage I took okay care of myself. I drank wine from time to time and coffee in the mornings and maybe periodically in the afternoon but that’s it. Then my body had a total breakdown at 48/49yrs old and I went thru early menopause and was done with it by 50/51yrs old. I have had a lot of gastro problems too and I attribute most of it to excessive Ibuprofen and aspirin usage as well as chronic stress. I’m now 60 and still fighting chronic severe pain daily as well as being sick. I tell my kids and everyone if they take OTC medicine for pain to make sure at least to do so with food and/or milk to help coat the stomach lining. That’s nothing scientific but I took it without food many many times. When you’re young it doesn’t bother you but after years of it, it will. I’ve lost the last ten years of my life to sickness and pain. I can’t get them back. I never feel good enough to do anything extra other than what I HAVE to do at home daily (chores). Never get to spend time with my grandkids or visiting loved ones. So HEED THESE WARNINGS. Just because they’re over the counter and deemed safe doesn’t mean they are.
Yikes.. I'm 33 and I take Excedrin and aspirin every day for muscle aches and headaches, but honestly most of the time they're tolerable without medication. Could be I also gained a bit of a dependency on them and I probably don't need them EVERY day.. Time to cut back I guess. 😑
If you can tolerate it, increase the amount of leafy greens in your diet? Cabbage, asparagus, collards and kale, broccoli and brussel sprouts? If you're cooking try olive oil? They aren't a cure-all but can provide you a little more energy to help you become more active? Then you can get out and sit in the sunshine - get some free vitamin D! That and some B complex might help boost your mood and energy levels? This is what I (must) do for my 94 yrs Mom as well as for myself - I had cancer. Good Drs and a Very Good God healed me. I HAD to change my diet but I'm Still Here! :-) Praying for you, too. ENJOY!!
Look into herbalism, Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, naturopathy --illness is the expelling of material from the body- cough -mucus -conjunctivitis etc. Movement of material out to the surface - detox / healing expression . What was taught in medical profession until 80’s and 90’s it was a pruning process. Chinese medicine, herbal medicine, ayurVedic medicine, naturopathy- all understand onset of these symptoms is an effort by the body to remove waste and toxins from the body. It’s needed to heal. Try finding some natural ways to start detoxing your body. Sleep, sunshine, fresh air, and removing yourself from anything unhappy are essential first steps. 🤍🪶
I love how information your videos are. For example telling us that "Renal" ment "Kidney" even though you didn't have to. Having the information of "why" something is the way it is makes me understand it so much easier, I appreciate you taking the time and effort!
"Renal" is from the Greek. In Latin, it's "nephron". So, in Latin, what you get above (epi) the kidney (nephron) is epinephrine... aka in Greek, what you get by (ad) the kidney (renal) is adrenaline... hence why some say "adrenaline" and some say "epinephrine", is Greek and Latin for the same thing :-)
I never gave much thought to NSAIDs when I was a kid, I had bruises and breaks and would need them for maybe three weeks. I learned a lot about arthritis meds when my wife was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. The Dr explained how a whole science of drugs came into being to be able to allow patients to use pain killers for there entire life without damaging the liver, kidney or stomach, and switching them so as not to allow the body to become used to them.
i bet that same doctor never said what causes rheumatoid arthritis either and how to overcome it through changing the diet! she developed leaky gut. she has to heal her gut and her arthritis will improve. as long as she’s on meds her gut will never heal 🤷🏽♂️
@@thysonsacclaim according to who? prove me wrong! im speaking from experience. u don’t just develop RA out of nowhere. it’s from digestive issues that cause damage in the intestine damaging the villi. either from poor diet, injury ie to the vagus nerve that affects digestion or chemical stressor in your environment that affects digestion. bottom line it’s from a leaky gut/damaged digestive tract!
Not faltering, stuttering, or saying “uh”, “um”, or “like”, isn’t the same as being intelligent. You can be the smartest person ever and still falter or say “like,” or “um,” to try get your point across or try to understand how you want to phrase something. Some people also have speech impediments they can’t control.
Ibuprofen almost killed me. My organs shut down and had I not been found, Drs said by morning I would have either been in coma or dead. My kidney is pretty much healed after 7 years. Now I cannot use any NSAID. Be careful and don’t take too much! If you are in pain, call your Dr, and don’t worry about bothering someone if you need something at the pharmacy.

What a informative concise video. I've known about ibuprofen danage for a long but so many don't. My aunt left on them for a year, major issues. It was only a caring locum who picked it up.
I was suffering from significant sciatic pain from 2009 to 2014. I was taking 4 Ibuprofen two or three times a day while also sometimes drinking several shots worth of rum in the evenings. I cut back to 3 Ibuprofen 3 times a day as recommended by my doctor. In 2014 a pain doctor figured out my femoral neck was causing the pain. Cortisone in just the right spot has cured me. I now take 2 or 3 ibuprofen a couple times a year.
This came up in my recommended and I figured I should watch it, I’ve been suffering from lower back/right thigh pain (sciatica) from a herniated disc at l5-s1, i actually just yesterday got an epidural shot with steroidal medicine to assist with the pain as no prescribed steroid pills or anti-inflammatory pills were helping and ive been taking Advil dual action (acetaminophen and ibuprofen mixed) every day 1 dose every 4-6 hours that I’m awake for about the past year almost as my injury occurred In February of 2021. As of recently it’s gotten worse and I’ve been taking acetaminophen only as I was taking an anti-inflammatory with a similar release to ibuprofen and was instructed by my doctor not to take it. This has caused me to wake up in the middle of the night from pain and I am currently taking acetaminophen throughout the night when I wake up as well as throughout the day at work and home. I feel like I should probably stop/reduce/seek other forms of relief. Also P.S.A. for people I’m 25 and lifted a ~60lbs object wrong and have fucked my life up for a year, please use proper lifting techniques and don’t suffer like me. I’m too young to be dealing with this bullshit and it’s been almost a year. If I got someone to help me lift it or use proper lifting techniques I would be okay, able to go out and enjoy life. I can’t walk, stand, sit, sleep, have intercourse, perform normal every day tasks such as putting on clothes and tying shoes, and perform my job at work without pain. Don’t delay treatment either it’ll only make it worse.
My story is, I'm a male and at the age of 19 (1975), I was riding my dirt bike and during a jump I misjudged the landing, and bailed off the bike as it was going to nose dive into the next mound, as a result I hit the ground in the sitting up position which caused my spine to compress the L4 - L5 and L5 - S1 discs. this type of injury caused the two discs to prolapse and compress onto nerves next to my spinal cord which, when pinched either by bending or lifting anything sent my back muscles into spasm (much pain for weeks and only prescribed Valium to relax the back muscles till it settles down) this was a regular occurrence and loss of work time, as I live in Australia I could not afford to be in a private medical fund due to marriage, mortgage car and three kid's, so I was put on the public waiting list for an operation (still waiting, now aged 66 married 45 years +, reason for the delay is if someone with a more urgent condition always gets priority, and that's fair enough). As a result my refusal to take opioids for fear of getting addicted meant I was in a continuous state of "bearable pain" between flare ups. In 2002 I developed a mysterious infection down in my (nether regions), after tests my GP was stumped and referred me to a specialist, he too was stumped and to ease the inflammation prescribed me Ibuprofen as an anti inflammatory and told me to take a dose of 1200mg per day, that's 400mg three times a day and within three days My (nether regions) began to clear up and as a "side affect" of the Ibuprofen that "bearable pain" I struggled with for so many years had disappeared completely, but the pinching of the nerves remained but reduced the flare ups to about 3-4 times a year. I have been on the same dosage of Ibuprofen daily for 20 years now without any side affect's, take regular tests and have no damage to any of my organs. After all these years I'm one happy puppy.
9:10. 9:40. 13:20. 14:29. Some people need to be educated on just dismissing taking ibuprofen on a daily basis. People have told me that their family member or friend is a PA and that taking all this ibuprofen is not going to hurt someone. Thank goodness I educate myself and try to stay away from medication due to its potential side effects. More people need to read up on this before spewing misinformation. Thank you, sir, for your valuable video.
Just a general tip: pills and medicines in general aren’t meant to be used for inconveniences, they’re meant to be used out of necessity. Everybody knows this but they often forget
ive taken multiple grams of this medication most days for several years. no issues. regular bloodwork taken. You may be different. It's less harsh on the stomach as other NSAIDs.
Used to take ibuprofen regularly for a long time. Found out how bad it was when I ended up in hospital with a doctor telling me it'd started to damage my stomach.
If you're taking it so regularly for so long that you end up in the hospital, it might be time to go to a doctor and treat what's causing the symptoms you're fighting with Ibuprofen.
I'm a hospice RN and "start low, go slow" is a rule we live by. I always explain it to my patients with that exact phrase when they want to know why we don't start off with more drugs than we do. It works every time, they get it.
I rarely take ibuprofen and when I do it works very well at small doses. But I sometimes have to shop around to find regular strength tablets. All the drug stores seem to want to sell only "extra strength" and when I find regular strength they want to sell me 10 times more pills than I will use before the expiry date. Oh well... at least they're relatively cheap.
@@cc3184 everything, natural remedy wise or otherwise has side effects if you overdose on it. all in moderation and everyone is different. people getting ulcers from meds are either taking too much or would have the ulcers either way as they have predisposition to them. it's common sense.
Thank you so much. I was aware of the renal side effects of NSAIDs, but this explanation was much more complete; including the brain, gastro-intestinal tract, liver and kidneys. I had no idea about the effects on COX-1 and COX-2 and the "biological downstream" effects. Thank you again.
Am watching this 2 years down the road and all the comments are beautiful and relevant to the subject matter. It is so helpful, especially that it relates to pain killers which we commonly use and abuse at times. Thank you.
After seeing some of the comments section, let me say this: it's okay to take medication, just be responsible with it. For example, I have hypothyroidism. Without levothyroxine, I would be in a much worse place. I would be tired all the time, bloated, and other symptoms associated with the condition. I wouldn't be able to live life as fully as I do right now. I believe that medications are invented for a reason and that taking them responsibly can improve health.
Try "Ocean's Gold" from Youngevity. It "fixed" my hypothyroidism. I've reversed other medical conditions with their supplements. The doctor behind Youngevity is brilliant when it comes to figuring out the nutritional deficiency behind medical conditions. All the best to you ❣️
@@kathleenlovett1958 Thanks for the suggestion. However, as that seems "too good to be true" so to speak, I think I'll stick with what my doctor and I know for certain works and helps.

I had a friend who in his words, was popping them like candy for a back problem. Eventually, he perforated his large intestine. Needless to say, it was a big problem. He had 3 surgeries and they removed a significant portion of his intestine. He was permanently disabled after this incident. I'm always mindful of his experience when I take Ibuprofen for my back pain.
I also was taking this very regularly (multiple times a day for months) for back pain. It was the only thing that helped. Then, I developed diverticulitis. (Pulips in my lower intestine that would get infected and burst) I wasn't told that it was my Ibuprofen use casing the problem at first. But after some research, I found that it's actually a common problem for people with diverticulitis.
My formula has always been, if the directions suggest food when taking medication, it effects the liver. If they suggest water, then it effects the kidneys.
This is really interesting! About a year ago I was diagnosed with an acute kidney injury that has since repaired itself. The doctor told me it was because I was taking ibuprofen most days for nearly a decade because of chronic migraines, as well as taking it without food as well as being extremely dehydrated. They said I can't have ibuprofen anymore. It's really interesting to know more about how this happens!

Interesting. I get chronic migranes as well (for roughly 2 decades) and ibuprofen has always been my go to. My doc currently has me on beta blockers to help bit I still need ibuprofen when it gets really bad. So far the doc hasn't expressed concern for my kidneys but it's interesting to hear from someone in a similar situation

I stopped taking ibuprofen several years ago when I developed an allergic reaction. I had taken the same amount as I always had, because I was having a headache. About an hour later, my lips started to swell up really bad. I went to the doctor and received an allergy shot. I haven't taken ibuprofen since.

Ended up throwing up blood one night with no idea why, went to the ER and got diagnosed anemic, as well as the cause of the bleeding of course linked to way too much ibuprofen. could have died in my sleep at any moment honestly.

TLDW: Generally safe for the liver, it can thin out the protective barrier in the stomach but is pretty safe if taken here and there, kidneys are also fine but it causes vasoconstriction which can worsen existing kidney issues if taken daily for other issues. In summary, try not to take it daily or too frequently and you'll likely be fine. I'm not a doctor just summarizing his content.

For those of us who live with chronic pain, we really don't have much choice in the matter. I have 3 herniated disks in my lower back (for the last 36 years) as well as a seriously degenerated left hip (for the last 10 years). I've had one hip surgery, which did not alleviate my chronic hip pain, and have used high doses of ibuprofen to manage my pain for DECADES. Seems those of us who manage chronic pain using ibuprofen are damned if we do (do to side effects) and damned if we don't (living with high levels of persistent pain). We need better solutions to chronic pain that what is currently available...
Sorry to hear that. CBD lotions (delta 8 gummies) and other cannabidols of some type might help you in some way.
Wishing you all the best take care

I feel you. I have a herniated disc and I'm in constant extreme pain.
Same here I took 20 Tylonol a day for about 5 years. No real side effects. But I also drank 3 to 4 gallons of water per day. due to my construction job. I was in my 20;s with a bad back. I was flushing my body of all the toxins drinking all that water
This is one of the reasons why I keep coming to TH-cam. The educational value provided by the narrator is phenomenal. I wish his videos are shown in schools for aspiring students interested in medical field.
TH-cam has one million times the value of Facebook or Twitter.
I couldn't have said it better.
I am truly taken by everything that came from this young Educator, I am really blown away by Him. Total Respect. You're the very Best Sir!
they should show these type videos in high schools and educate about the injuries of alcohol and drugs and addictions .- Scare the kids straight !!! :),
wouldnt save them all but im sure a fair few would struggle less in life.
Beats dumbd down govt schools. Commie camps.
Agreed. I've learned more from TH-cam than I have from school.
Thank you for this video! I'm 71, and I've been living on Ibuprofen for about 40 years. Next time I go to the doctor's office, I'm going to ask her to check my kidney and liver functions.!
That should have been done at least once a year! If you have Medicare, the co-pay is minimal. Once we hit a certain age, out body's mileage starts to show. I don't take the stuff as I was prescribed large doses in my 20s and almost bled to death.
I'd get a new doctor. Sheesh...
Don't forget the cokes on the way there! Sorry bad joke...no cokes
You can't trust doctors nowadays. The tests they run are about 40 years out of date. Which means they'll tell you things are normal when they actually aren't.
She should already be checking that.
So refreshing to hear a doctor who actually has an awareness of what medication does to the body.

So to clarify for everyone thinking they have to suffer through painful cramps every month. It’s okay to take a couple of ibuprofen once a month for cramps but as stated in this video make sure you are staying hydrated. According to this video the real damage happens if you take ibuprofen every day.
Thank you! I came exactly with this question in mind, Ibuprofen is the only thing which lets me live normally and go to work on my periods.
@@rainingdewdrops yeah same! I take it at least 5days per month and I've always been worried about side effects and that made me feel guilty

I took Ibuprofen regularly throughout high school and college almost every day. I have sever migraines from my seizure disorder so I was actually given Ibuprofen for that reason. But one night I was sleeping, and as I snored, I could feel something coming up the back of my throat. Turns out it was blood and I was bleeding internally. I was rushed to the ER and the doctors told me I had severe damage to my esophagus and early liver damage, similar to that of an alcoholic. I obviously don't take it anymore but I watch how much I eat and stay from foods or substances that make my liver and esophagus flare up.
Did your doctor suggest using Ibuprofen?
I took these for years and ended up with a massive bleed from my stomach that left me needing 4 units of blood. I had ulcers in my oesophagus, stomach and duodenum.
Severe migraines. Consider cutting out all wheat products from your diet. I expect your migraines would suddenly disappear after a week or 2.
It wasn't caused by ibuprofen, trust me.
@@firetango1195 I think it doesn't require prescription. At least not in my country
I wish most doctors went into this much detail on what a medication I am taking is doing to my body. I am all for medication, but the risks always feel so opaque.
I took Ibuprofen for headaches and menstrual cramps for a couple of years, thank you for educating me on the side affects of it. I don't take any pain medication unless I really need it and can't bear the pain.
For cramps and menstrual pains take magnesium supplements. Taking 2 magnesium supplements a day rather than 5 ibuprofen pills a day during cramp week was so life-changing!
@@Glittergirlgal hi, do magnesium help in menstrual pain?
I had and accident and got 2 fractures last year (wrist and knee) and took ibuprofen 800 for a few days but it didn't help so I stopped it.
Same. It has to really hurt continuously before I pop any painreliever.
I think this video is a great example of not just ibuprofen, but most things in life generally should be done in moderation!
Magnesium and Potassium are great for controlling charley horse cramps! I don't use them for menstrual pain because I'm a man.
To address the other comments above about how it has to be hurting pretty badly before taking a pain reliever like ibuprofen.... that's exactly how it's supposed to be!
That's why it's called a pain reliever and most people are only in pain occasionally. Then you can take 2 of your ibuprofen liquid gels. Or just start with 1 ibuprofen and add a second capsule if needed.
If taken in moderation it's completely fine. I actually had a stomach scan and liver/kidney scan plus bloodwork recently for something unrelated and it came back with totally normal, negative findings.
I've been taking Advil/ ibuprofen liquid gels *in* *moderation* for 20 years, perhaps more.
Sometimes I'll go a month or 45 days without taking a single one and sometimes I'll have to take 4 or 5 in a week... probably averages out to 1-2 per wk.
Anything that's abused is going to cause negative effects.
The gentleman in this video even admits if you don't have kidney disease/stomach lining issues and use ibuprofen in moderation, it's perfectly fine and won't eat away the mucous lining in your stomach or negatively affect your kidneys.
Don't over-use ibuprofen and it's a *GREAT* pain reliever. Especially the liquid gel capsule form which I recently started using that *immediately* begin to work.
My thinking is.... Because I normally wait until the pain is becoming pretty bad before I consider taking ibuprofen, then it might as well be a liquid gel that begins to work immediately, right?
It's totally worth the little bit of extra money for liquid gels so that the bad pain subsides quickly and I can get back to work or sleep.
Cheers!
Outstanding explanation; as a fellow physician I applaud your ability to explain something fairly complex (pharmacology) and do so in a way that a lay person could understand. Please keep up the good work and blessings to those individuals and families that donated their bodies for study.
His reply was, "Thanks, Dad."
Personally, as a fellow human, I found this to be rather wordy and I kept hoping he could just get directly to the point. I felt he could have told us the bottom line in two minutes instead of long playing the matter. I think the details are important and fit with the title of the video, which is more than most TH-cam videos BUT I would prefer a concise, cut-to-the-chase version. If he just told people no real concerns for the liver, kidneys, and stomach lining and they could eat yogurt for their stomach lining, it would have been said and done and I could take my ibuprofen a couple of times a week and not worry about it.
I felt like he was trying to impress his colleagues and Med School and I just want to know what Dustin Hoffman asked in Marathon Man, "Is it safe?" Yes, it's safe.
I feel he gave me the green light to take it once or twice a week even up to 800 dosage. The problem is he took SO LONG to do it, not unlike this reply.
It’s just made up language and fake science one just needs a dictionary from English to BS
my science education stopped in like grade 11 but I'm interested in learning the micro-processes that happen in the body during these sorts of videos and almost no one else ever gives these details into things. there are like 10000 other videos out there that can tell you to eat yogurt for your lining and that it's safe. In fact, googling the question 'is ibuprofin safe?' could have told you VERY fast. I WANT to learn that ibuprofin inhibits the cox1 and cox2. If you want 'is it safe? yes or no?' no offence but you're just watching the wrong channel. @slingshotchicken4695

In 1977 (while in the military) I was prescribed Motrin (Ibuprofen) for "stress headaches." Migraines were a reason for discharge, so the doctor was doing me a favor because I was close to retirement. Long story short. I continued to use Ibuprofen, sometimes like candy, for the headaches, knee pain and muscle pain until about 2013 when I was diagnosed with kidney cancer. I had part of my right kidney removed and have been cancer free, I hope. In 2018 I broke my neck and still suffer from nerve pain daily. I still take Ibuprofen on rare occasions because it helps. My doctor checks me for any hint of cancer every six months. Bottom line, Ibuprofen works great for the pain but I limit how often I take it. Otherwise, I grin and bear the pain as long as I can.
Damn. Stay strong!
Side question, why do military guys always say long story short but continue to give a somewhat long story? My retired Army buddy does this all the time and it cracks me up.
@@CenryHavill Because no one would stay around for the really long story. And if you listen to your Army buddy long enough you should know the all military personnel can make a short story long. LOL 😁

Man I'm 36m and I already have daily minor aches and pains. What do I have coming for me in my later years?
I've been taking ibuprofen for 20+ years for arthritis and scoliosis pain. When pain was at its worse, I was taking 6 to 8 a day. After a SI joint fusion my pain level has decreased significantly and now take 2 - 4 per day. I never take it on an empty stomach, I always drink plenty of water and my doctor monitors my kidney and liver functions through yearly wellness exams. So far, so good. I have also learned that ibuprofen increases your blood pressure so be aware of that during your doctor visits.
Have you tried smoking marijuana? Its natural and less harmful than taking pharmaceutical drugs. It has been proven to help with joint pain
@@mychellemill You’re still inhaling something you shouldn’t be. Yes it’s great for pain control and not as addictive as opioids, but still terrible for your lungs. No smoke of any sort should be inhaled. Fresh air is what should be going in your lungs.

A side effect you didn't mention is intestinal bleeding. I took advil periodically for joint inflammation. Never made the connection between the bleeding and advil use until I was taken down with Guillian-Barre syndrome. The bleeding caused an infection in my colon that produced proteins that closely mimicked the proteins found in the myelin sheathing around the nerves. It wasn't the typical case of GBS. it put me in the hospital for 10 weeks and left me with permanent damage to both my peripheral and autonomic nervous systems. I can tell you it's no fun not being able to feel the ground below my feet while walking.
I’m sorry to hear that you experienced that. Thank you for sharing so that others can be aware.
Intestinal affects, basically perforation, is the first SE I think of, having worked professionally in healthcare for 10 years... unfortunate it's not mentioned as that is the sole reason I won't touch the stuff lol. Good luck to you in your journey. Thanks for sharing with everyone.

I remember one time I was 12, had to go to a hospital because of severe dehydration, stomach pains and rashes all over my body. I was having an allergic reaction due to an undiscovered histamine intolerance and was also severely allergic to ibuprofen.
We wouldn't find out about that until I was being pumped full of ibuprofen by nurses and having an extreme allergic reaction on top of my already ongoing histamine allergic reaction. I still remember how weak I felt, that burning tingling sensation all over my body and not being able to eat or drink anything properly for three days.
I got better, but had to keep coming back again and again, year after year with the same issues until we finally found a doctor who could diagnose my intolerance and allergies.
I'm insanely thankful for the efforts of the doctors and nurses to keep me safe and heal me. But I really wish this type of stuff would be researched more carefully by hospitals and medical schools in order to avoid putting anyone else through so much pointless pain, so much time and resources spent and wasted, when it could all be avoided
thats insane, but its kinda hilarous that they pumped you with ibuprofen without knowing you were allergic
How do you manage your histamine intolerance and get diagnosed?
I also kinda have similar story but with ranitidine. I was diagnosed with stomach ulcer then the doctor gave me ranitidine, after i drank it severall minutes later my stomach was suddenly so painful and started to diarrhea, then i felt dizzy and almost collapsed. Luckily i drank enough water to keep me hydrated. The doctor then changed the prescription into omeprazole
Doctors are taught what rockefeller wanted them to know in the 1920s. rockefeller was high on power and wanted more power so he put as many holistic thinking doctors in prison as he could. rockefeller pushed pills and surgery and chem to make the most money. This is called allopathy.

@@pureenergy4578 i was born and raised on tea, essential oils and salads, I know all about that kind of medicine. My mother used to refuse to give me medication or take me to the hospital unless I was crying in pain or bed ridden. The time I had to go to the hospital for histamine intolerance was one of the first times she allowed me to take actual, strong medication, but before that, I had to "work on my health with natural ways" (even thought I was a child). I grew kinda resentful of the whole Mystical Natural Essential Oil Solar Energy movement, not only because it became a gateway for antivaxx propaganda, but also because most of it can be just pure bs with no scientific backing whatsoever.

He has neither a Phd or a doctorate degree from med school. From his bio:
Jonathan found his love for teaching in 2008 while attaining his degree in Health Promotion and Education at the University of Utah. During his pre-medical coursework, he took an anatomy course, eventually was asked to be a teaching assistant, and immediately fell in love with teaching and learning about the human body. During his time at the University of Utah, Jonathan spent many hours in the cadaver lab receiving training in teaching and dissection. For the last 15 years, Jonathan has continued to teach anatomy and physiology at multiple schools and at the Institute of Human Anatomy after he founded it in 2012. He has his Master of Physician Assistant degree and works as a medical provider in Urgent Care. When Jonathan is not teaching, dissecting, or working with patients he enjoys rock climbing, basketball, and traveling.
He has great credentials and a ton of experience it would seem but a doctor he is not. Studying in pre-med doesn't earn you that moniker.

My doctor prescribed 3200 mg ibuprofen daily for inflammation. I told her I was not comfortable doing that because the dosage was too high. She convinced me to do it because she said there was no other treatment option besides surgery. So I took it, and after a week, I started having bad stomach pain. My doctor was out of the office when the symptoms started, so I went to a different doctor who told me that I should stop taking the medication immediately because I was bleeding internally.

No matter how hard we try to create products that benefit us, there will always be a point where it can become dangerous, because it's all a matter of equilibrium to make everything work smoothly, and these products offset that balance just as much as the afflictions we can encounter.
Always be careful with your body, that's how it'll last to the fullest of its abilities.
In simple words, everything in excessive amounts is bad
Very well said. There’s a balance to everything.

Thank you for this informative and helpful learning video. You must know by now your teaching style is highly effective. The "show and tell" aspect helps drive home the points you are trying to make. It's quite enlightening how you help us visualize the body's reaction to NSAID's on a multi-organ standpoint. Your voice and bearing induce an almost hypnotic effect on the learners and make us want to stick around to see just where you are going.
Kudos, sir! I only subscribe to the best and you are worthy. Lol.

Love it. Knowing the specifics of why ibuprofen is bad for kidneys is fascinating. I'm almost 3.5 years post transplant 💚
I mean all medications are bad for the kidney's and livers
Not bad for kidneys, only the potential to be, under some circumstances. Transplant patirents could be at a higher risk perhaps, but your personal Dr should let you know.
@@GR33ZY.A1 Whenever I must take any pharmaceutical medicine, I always take it with milk thistle, and if possible, NAC. This supports those organs.
One of the things that i love about this channel is that they always keep repeating simple things like what a saggital cut is or a cortex. Repeating it helps me remember too :).
This has to be the best presentation format for medical study anywhere on the internet. I feel like what you describe in this way is more retainable than with 2D (or even 3D) graphics. Its a mixture of your bringing out process details and showing the physical layout simultaneously. I don't know if this is true for others, but for me it works great!
Odd how I as a layman (I study computer science rather than medical science) never sees or hears how organs actually operate in the body, this is truly a valuable resource.

For real!
Not sure how this video ended up making its way to my suggested videos but I’m glad it did. I’ve always heard the side effects but never the “why.” Today I got my answer. Glad I only take the stuff as needed, low and slow. One 200mg pill to start, and another 45-90mins later if I still have pain. Generally speaking I try to stay away from any form of medicine unless absolutely necessary.
So true and I prefer the same process like you stay safe n healthy
Exactly the same way. I’ll be suffering in pain sick and only if nothing is helping or getting better do I consider taking anything
You should watch some of his other videos. This guy is incredibly knowledgable, and his videos are fascinating
And yet so many people will watch this and be cautious about Ibuprofen and then take a jab with who knows what in it for a flu like thing, with a 99.86 percent survival rate.
I’m so glad you are sharing this. I was taking Tylenol, ibuprofen and Aleve for sciatic pain. I started taking 1 Tylenol every other day, and sometimes times I’d switch and take ibuprofen. I increased to taking ibuprofen 1 every day. Within 6 months lab reports showed my liver enzymes increased from 22 to 153. I’m 75 and don’t take any other medication. I stopped taking all ANSIDS. Thank God all other vitals are good.
Hi @Glorious353. I'm curious. What did you do to alleviate the sciatic pain? I suffer from the same thing caused by a lower back issue. Not much gives me relief, and I often worry about my ibuprofen consumption.
@@chrissimmons6231That is the million dollar question she failed to indicate.
lt's not clear from your comment, but one shouldn't take two NSAIDs together (e.g. Ibuprofen and Aleve).
NSAIDS
For the pain.... ADD Salmon, cod liver oil, and any other omega 3s! REMOVE ALL pro inflammatories from your diet- especially vegetable oil, canola oil, cheap olive oils (good quality organic is fine for EVOO), sugar (that's a big one!), and carbs! Try eating a Mediterranean/healthy keto style for meals.
For activities- start a garden, practice deep belly breathing, destress your regular schedule
If you HAVE to have bread or pasta- make it from scratch if not with freshly milled flour at least use unbleached.
For eggs dairy and meat products switch to locally farmed- the additives in the grocery store meat and dairy will cause pain and digestive issues. Digestive issues lead to low back and hip pain- including sciatica
Need a sweetener? Use local honey (this will also take care of seasonal allergies!) or a good quality maple
We need to get back to a more simple way of life, the way we live and eat is causing us so much unnecessary pain and suffering. I'm making my way out of the hell of pain and illness and I pray others make it out as well! Praise Yah He gave us bodies that heal and a Word of truth to wake us up to our natural way of life.
9:20 This is what happened to me. The Army had me on Ibuprofen (800mg) and Tramadol (50mg) for pain management for almost 10years. Combine that with the excess of alcohol I was drinking to help combat the pain and I've really done a number on my stomach. They told me I have Gastritis with Metaplasia, which I was told meant I was one step from stomach cancer. I got this diagnosis 5 years ago, and I'm still trying to fix my stomach. Like a comment below, I woke up one morning and vomited a large amount of bright red blood. I felt like I was dying at the time.
Thank you for this particular video because it hits home for me. I have ESRD, on my 2nd renal transplant, and now I understand why my nephrologist told me that Ibuprofen is bad for renal patients. I love the clear explanation of every step of the process. It blows mind that science can be able to explain all this. Thanks to all who are involved in research, including the donors who donate their bodies to science.

Used to take it all the time for chronic pain. The side effect that made me stop using it all the time was high blood pressure. Stopped taking it and my blood pressure came down to a very healthy, normal level. Great video, thank you.
Crap i almost took it yesterday for headache from high blood pressure thank God i didnt
should think about taking some nattokinase acouple capsules once a month. The blood clotting factors build up over time and makes the blood thicker than it should be and raises blood pressure. It's extremely easy to address that specific factor which can go a long way.
And i got perforated intestines 2 years ago, because , this is really a terrible poison, ... today i had 2 took another pill of 600 mg , because my own medicines were not fast enough , but, i will avoid it in the Future as Much as Possible, after seeing this video !!! ! !!!
thats while at rest. having it monitored while walking/running on a treadmill is a more accurate way of gauging overall health and fitness. the only problem there is the doctor, nurse, or technician must make a judgement call as to what the limit is for each person. i have hypertension- so my BP usually runs high. i was at 200/100 inches with sustained exertion on a treadmill stress test with the treadmill at 85% speed. good for an average 65-year-old, but the tech would not let me run it at 100%. they never will except with young, fit athletes. i dared her to crank it up- but she wouldn't do it without a doctor present in the room. with real hypertension, pretty much ALL pain medications are forbidden as they tend to push the BP higher. highest i've ever had was 225/150 inches (at rest!). i usually get close to it when riding my bicycle but thats a little different as it's under exertion. i take lisinopril and carvedilol to control my BP- my doctor put me on a diuretic, as well, but i put a stop to it after two years- something you should only do with the supervision of your doctor or cardiologist.
@@tommurphy4307 Should think about taking 2.5-5grams of lysine and a few grams of vitamin C a day. It dissolves plaque slowly overtime and of course are as benign as it gets for safe supplements. They are also what the body uses to produce collagen and it helps make the blood vessels healthy and flexable they do a bunch of stuff. Nattokinase is great too to take acouple every few weeks to reduce the clotting factors that build up in the blood but you'll have to look up if that's safe with your meds might thin your blood too much. It's a enzyme. Also using potassium chloride salt as in just a dash or two on food nothing crazy or a half and half mixture with normal table salt is helpful too for lowering blood pressure.
So glad information like this is available. It's insane to me that acetaminophen and ibuprofen are so easily accessible and misused!! They can be so very dangerous. Thanks for the deeper dive into this information!!
Gasoline is also easily accessible and much more dangerous. If you're capable of reading a warning label, then you will be fine. The people who misuse these types of substances are the type of people that don't look both ways before crossing the street. Not really a concern the the general educated public.
@@flyingtentacle7631 exactly. It's a pretty stupid notion than just because some people aren't safe or smart about it, that other people should have to go through the trouble of getting a prescription just to take a little bit of ibuprofen for a headache when they need it.
@@flyingtentacle7631 Completely missed my point. Also, comparing apples to oranges much? Gasoline v. medication? Not even the same class of substance. lol
There's a huge misconception of simple OTC drugs. It has nothing to do with educated people. People accidentally OD all the time. It's not okay? I mean, yes, it's stupid of them, but idk. Anyway. I still feel like it's too easy. I've heard doctors say the same thing, so... 🤷♂️
@@Mt_Vesuvius Truly, we shouldn't take it unless absolutely necessary. It's just not a healthy habit. I just hate how reliant on meds we are. They mask or fix problems, but can create new ones. Of course, everybody is free to do what they think they should. Just my two cents.
if you took it every day, thats the point when ibuprofen will be really dangerous ( i mean 1-3 pills per day) but if you got a headache for example 1-2 days per month, you should take it easily :) and there is no need to worry about smth :)
Incredible informative video. This is the only medication Ive taken in the past several years, and it was really cool to get a much more in depth analysis of how it works and possible side effects.
I believe it’s half of the reason why my body broke down ten years ago along with chronic stress. I used to eat the stuff along with Excedrin and sometimes Aleve but that didn’t work well on my pain so I mostly took Advil and Excedrin. For many years and rarely two. Always needed three, sometimes four. I had bad back pain and hip pain. I got horrible neck aches and headaches and migraines.
So at 47 or so I had heartburn and found out I had Barrett’s Disease. Other than the incessant over the counter drug usage I took okay care of myself. I drank wine from time to time and coffee in the mornings and maybe periodically in the afternoon but that’s it. Then my body had a total breakdown at 48/49yrs old and I went thru early menopause and was done with it by 50/51yrs old. I have had a lot of gastro problems too and I attribute most of it to excessive Ibuprofen and aspirin usage as well as chronic stress. I’m now 60 and still fighting chronic severe pain daily as well as being sick. I tell my kids and everyone if they take OTC medicine for pain to make sure at least to do so with food and/or milk to help coat the stomach lining. That’s nothing scientific but I took it without food many many times. When you’re young it doesn’t bother you but after years of it, it will. I’ve lost the last ten years of my life to sickness and pain. I can’t get them back. I never feel good enough to do anything extra other than what I HAVE to do at home daily (chores). Never get to spend time with my grandkids or visiting loved ones. So HEED THESE WARNINGS. Just because they’re over the counter and deemed safe doesn’t mean they are.
Yikes.. I'm 33 and I take Excedrin and aspirin every day for muscle aches and headaches, but honestly most of the time they're tolerable without medication. Could be I also gained a bit of a dependency on them and I probably don't need them EVERY day.. Time to cut back I guess. 😑
If you can tolerate it, increase the amount of leafy greens in your diet? Cabbage, asparagus, collards and kale, broccoli and brussel sprouts? If you're cooking try olive oil? They aren't a cure-all but can provide you a little more energy to help you become more active? Then you can get out and sit in the sunshine - get some free vitamin D! That and some B complex might help boost your mood and energy levels? This is what I (must) do for my 94 yrs Mom as well as for myself - I had cancer. Good Drs and a Very Good God healed me. I HAD to change my diet but I'm Still Here! :-) Praying for you, too. ENJOY!!

Good lesson
Look into herbalism, Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, naturopathy --illness is the expelling of material from the body- cough -mucus -conjunctivitis etc. Movement of material out to the surface - detox / healing expression . What was taught in medical profession until 80’s and 90’s it was a pruning process. Chinese medicine, herbal medicine, ayurVedic medicine, naturopathy- all understand onset of these symptoms is an effort by the body to remove waste and toxins from the body. It’s needed to heal. Try finding some natural ways to start detoxing your body. Sleep, sunshine, fresh air, and removing yourself from anything unhappy are essential first steps. 🤍🪶
I love how information your videos are. For example telling us that "Renal" ment "Kidney" even though you didn't have to. Having the information of "why" something is the way it is makes me understand it so much easier, I appreciate you taking the time and effort!
"Renal" is from the Greek. In Latin, it's "nephron". So, in Latin, what you get above (epi) the kidney (nephron) is epinephrine... aka in Greek, what you get by (ad) the kidney (renal) is adrenaline... hence why some say "adrenaline" and some say "epinephrine", is Greek and Latin for the same thing :-)

What a informative concise video. I've known about ibuprofen danage for a long but so many don't. My aunt left on them for a year, major issues. It was only a caring locum who picked it up.
I was suffering from significant sciatic pain from 2009 to 2014. I was taking 4 Ibuprofen two or three times a day while also sometimes drinking several shots worth of rum in the evenings. I cut back to 3 Ibuprofen 3 times a day as recommended by my doctor. In 2014 a pain doctor figured out my femoral neck was causing the pain. Cortisone in just the right spot has cured me. I now take 2 or 3 ibuprofen a couple times a year.
Alcohol and Ibuprofen is death on the liver. Have you had your liver checked recently?
Bro drinking liquor after taking ibuprofen is natural selection taking its course.
This came up in my recommended and I figured I should watch it, I’ve been suffering from lower back/right thigh pain (sciatica) from a herniated disc at l5-s1, i actually just yesterday got an epidural shot with steroidal medicine to assist with the pain as no prescribed steroid pills or anti-inflammatory pills were helping and ive been taking Advil dual action (acetaminophen and ibuprofen mixed) every day 1 dose every 4-6 hours that I’m awake for about the past year almost as my injury occurred In February of 2021. As of recently it’s gotten worse and I’ve been taking acetaminophen only as I was taking an anti-inflammatory with a similar release to ibuprofen and was instructed by my doctor not to take it. This has caused me to wake up in the middle of the night from pain and I am currently taking acetaminophen throughout the night when I wake up as well as throughout the day at work and home. I feel like I should probably stop/reduce/seek other forms of relief.
Also P.S.A. for people I’m 25 and lifted a ~60lbs object wrong and have fucked my life up for a year, please use proper lifting techniques and don’t suffer like me. I’m too young to be dealing with this bullshit and it’s been almost a year. If I got someone to help me lift it or use proper lifting techniques I would be okay, able to go out and enjoy life. I can’t walk, stand, sit, sleep, have intercourse, perform normal every day tasks such as putting on clothes and tying shoes, and perform my job at work without pain. Don’t delay treatment either it’ll only make it worse.
My story is, I'm a male and at the age of 19 (1975), I was riding my dirt bike and during a jump I misjudged the landing, and bailed off the bike as it was going to nose dive into the next mound, as a result I hit the ground in the sitting up position which caused my spine to compress the L4 - L5 and L5 - S1 discs. this type of injury caused the two discs to prolapse and compress onto nerves next to my spinal cord which, when pinched either by bending or lifting anything sent my back muscles into spasm (much pain for weeks and only prescribed Valium to relax the back muscles till it settles down) this was a regular occurrence and loss of work time, as I live in Australia I could not afford to be in a private medical fund due to marriage, mortgage car and three kid's, so I was put on the public waiting list for an operation (still waiting, now aged 66 married 45 years +, reason for the delay is if someone with a more urgent condition always gets priority, and that's fair enough). As a result my refusal to take opioids for fear of getting addicted meant I was in a continuous state of "bearable pain" between flare ups. In 2002 I developed a mysterious infection down in my (nether regions), after tests my GP was stumped and referred me to a specialist, he too was stumped and to ease the inflammation prescribed me Ibuprofen as an anti inflammatory and told me to take a dose of 1200mg per day, that's 400mg three times a day and within three days My (nether regions) began to clear up and as a "side affect" of the Ibuprofen that "bearable pain" I struggled with for so many years had disappeared completely, but the pinching of the nerves remained but reduced the flare ups to about 3-4 times a year. I have been on the same dosage of Ibuprofen daily for 20 years now without any side affect's, take regular tests and have no damage to any of my organs. After all these years I'm one happy puppy.
@@schoey03 great to read the happy ending. You have put up with a lot.

Just a general tip: pills and medicines in general aren’t meant to be used for inconveniences, they’re meant to be used out of necessity. Everybody knows this but they often forget
ive taken multiple grams of this medication most days for several years. no issues. regular bloodwork taken. You may be different. It's less harsh on the stomach as other NSAIDs.
Used to take ibuprofen regularly for a long time. Found out how bad it was when I ended up in hospital with a doctor telling me it'd started to damage my stomach.
How often did you take it.. like every day or once a month?
@@MyHeartForBio MESSING UP MY LIVERS

If you're taking it so regularly for so long that you end up in the hospital, it might be time to go to a doctor and treat what's causing the symptoms you're fighting with Ibuprofen.
I'm a hospice RN and "start low, go slow" is a rule we live by. I always explain it to my patients with that exact phrase when they want to know why we don't start off with more drugs than we do. It works every time, they get it.
Its also a good mantra for recreational drugs 🙌
it does, I as a standard take the prescription by half dose, so its a lower dose that lasts longer and have less side effects
I rarely take ibuprofen and when I do it works very well at small doses. But I sometimes have to shop around to find regular strength tablets. All the drug stores seem to want to sell only "extra strength" and when I find regular strength they want to sell me 10 times more pills than I will use before the expiry date.

Am watching this 2 years down the road and all the comments are beautiful and relevant to the subject matter. It is so helpful, especially that it relates to pain killers which we commonly use and abuse at times. Thank you.
After seeing some of the comments section, let me say this: it's okay to take medication, just be responsible with it. For example, I have hypothyroidism. Without levothyroxine, I would be in a much worse place. I would be tired all the time, bloated, and other symptoms associated with the condition. I wouldn't be able to live life as fully as I do right now. I believe that medications are invented for a reason and that taking them responsibly can improve health.

I had a friend who in his words, was popping them like candy for a back problem. Eventually, he perforated his large intestine. Needless to say, it was a big problem. He had 3 surgeries and they removed a significant portion of his intestine. He was permanently disabled after this incident. I'm always mindful of his experience when I take Ibuprofen for my back pain.
i never take motrin, tylenol, or salicylic acid for pain. i use only my homegrown cannabis for pain- with my doctors' blessings.
I also was taking this very regularly (multiple times a day for months) for back pain. It was the only thing that helped. Then, I developed diverticulitis. (Pulips in my lower intestine that would get infected and burst)
I wasn't told that it was my Ibuprofen use casing the problem at first. But after some research, I found that it's actually a common problem for people with diverticulitis.

The doctor told me it was because I was taking ibuprofen most days for nearly a decade because of chronic migraines, as well as taking it without food as well as being extremely dehydrated. They said I can't have ibuprofen anymore. It's really interesting to know more about how this happens!

Interesting. I get chronic migranes as well (for roughly 2 decades) and ibuprofen has always been my go to. My doc currently has me on beta blockers to help bit I still need ibuprofen when it gets really bad. So far the doc hasn't expressed concern for my kidneys but it's interesting to hear from someone in a similar situation
Ibuprofen will distort creatinine levels giving lower GFR rates. These are reversed once off Ibuprofens.
@@nilyfoxx9645 woah dude! Fucking calm down 😂😂 sheesh! You really went in!! City boyyyyys city boyyyyys!
always feel pain at the level of the kidney right and north and I thought it was due to the cold; but I doubted advil because I was taking it in order to relieve the pain of the menstrual cycle. I searched the Internet a lot and I knew that ibrufen is the cause and I was more sure when I came across this comment.
I was given experimental prostaglandin in a military hospital when i was in active labor. My daughter came so fast the doc barely made it and she born in the labor bed. She's a healthy 35 yo today. But wow....strong stuff!
Thanks for sharing this wonderful comment. I can tell you're a woman of integrity, I was very excited coming across your comment.
What a awesome channel. As a med student, these types of videos bring a lot of teaching dynamics to the global population with simple words.
I am thinking about and praying about leaving my body to science. My mother in law did that. It would help students learn I suppose. What do you think? Is it worth doing? thanks! blessings to you Matias!
@@janeh5949It’s only worth doing if you believe it’s worth doing. Know that it will be an integral part of the medical education of many students, and it will be treated with the respect it deserves.
@@janeh5949 Getting real bodies to work with and not just books before encountering patients have helped me immensely in med school. I wouldn't fault anyone for not wanting to, but if you do it then you will have done a selfless act to be admired that will help a lot of doctors, and through them indirectly help countless patients
Exactlyyy !!! ! !!!
but, remember that knowledge can also be a dangerous thing.
I stopped taking ibuprofen several years ago when I developed an allergic reaction. I had taken the same amount as I always had, because I was having a headache. About an hour later, my lips started to swell up really bad. I went to the doctor and received an allergy shot. I haven't taken ibuprofen since.
It is crazy how common is ibuprofen allergy, yet it is easily sold as "common medicine"
You know my mother had like 39-40* C cuz of covid and wasnt going down no mater what
she had to take Paracetamol and Ibuprofen cuz if you just take one
your organism gonna get used and/or you can become alegric
And ofc expect water there is not a single thing that is good if you use to often
@@HardTime00 Ever heard of water poisoning?
@@cardavmon its too rare
@@HardTime00 hardly rare
First, thank you for the information, second, you should win the Nobel Prize in Medicine, not because you know medicine well, but because you are able to explain how things work and there are few such people today, I am sure you have a huge career ahead of you.
I took a bunch of ibuprofen practically every day for a year for migraines at school and them i started throwing up every morning before school… nurses thought it was just anxiety but i had actually burned the inner surface of my stomach
Best 15-20 mins I have spent on the internet in months. This is really great information, dumbed down to a basic level, but explained in such a way that you feel empowered to make future decisions. Really well done. Bravo.
Can you please make a video on thoroughly explaining what your body & brain go through during the state of general anesthesia? That would be awesome :)
