I take 9 200mg tablets daily along with tramadol for relief of a combination of pain from arthritis, spinal stenosis, and 3 bulging discs. Would like to do something else but Dr. dosen't seemed concerned..??

this cured my headache in less than half an hour, but... about 2 hours from taking it, I had an anaphylactic reaction. Turns out I am allergic to nsaids. Stinks.

Receintly discovered that I have a worn out knee joint that is bone on bone. Tried to go without any medication for 4 weeks but then the pain became too intense when knee swelled up to 1/2 again it's size. The Advil helped control the pain and with icing, the pain never went away but it did become manageable. I am very active and for three weeks I was taking 2800-3600mg/day. On the forth week I reduced the dosage to 1600-2000mg/day but quit altogether on the 5th week when I discovered that something was going on with the flexability in my legs and back. As a 67 year old male, I expect to have some limitations, but this came on a little too quickly for my liking. Finally, half way through the week when I stopped taking them, I had some bloodwork done for a routine semi-annual exam. All my numbers came in with satisfactory numbers except for liver function. This number has always been fine in the past by being below 64. However, this time it came in at 281. Other than the high doses of Advil, nothing has changed in my diet, enviroment or activities.

I have taken Advil on three occasions. I did not realize that I was having an adverse reaction until the last time I took the pill. The first time I took the pill and woke up in the mioddle of the night having difficulty breathing I thought it was because of a summer allergy of some sort. The next time I took it I had a slight sinus infection and attributed the breathing difficulty to that, but the last time I took it it was for pain in my knee and I thought I was going to have to go to the emergency room for help. I realized that this condition occurred every time I took an Advil. I will never take this medication again. I have taken plain old Ibup.and never had this reaction. However I think I will avoid this medication in any form from now on and also bring it to my doctor's attention. Read More Read Less
