| Add Ibuprofen review I have a nerve pinched in socket of shoulder. So I have pain at joint, radiating numbess to middle finger. Ibuprofen usually works, I was prescribed 800MG 3 times daily. Occasionally the pain exceeds the strength of the meds. I went in for a CAT scan the other day on throat and from a small IV recieved a bruise 4 inches long, and 1 inch wide. I am also expierencing nausea pretty much full time. I ... sore back around kendiys Used after operation for broken arm. Pretty useless to relieve pain. Prescribed by doctor. The ibuprofen can only remedy so much especially with the inflammation. It is hard when it wears off about 4 hours later because the pain comes back even more intense. The pain that I am treating is bulging discs. I do not know what else to do because the hardcore pain medicine cannot be used at work since it causes sleepiness. Very effective Not as good as the 800 mg but overall good on common head and body pain | Add Toradol review I just put one star on my ratings because I have not taken it yet. I have a question. I was told I have costochondritis, along with fibromyalgia. The doctor prescribed Toradol and the pharmacist only gave me 20 pills for a month. She said I can only take this for five days, regardless how many I take a day. Only five days a month. Does anyone know anything about this? I have chronic lower back pain, also have a sub dermal pain pump giving me morphine 24/7. In spite of that i still have pain.One episode of extreme pain I saw my GP who gave me oral torodal and I was amazed. Almost pain free until the RX ran out. I was taking slightly less than prescribed (3 tabs/day instead of 4) but it was still very effective.How long should I lay off before taking it again? I'm going to ask my pain specialist to prescribe this for me. No side effects that I noticed and wonderful relief. | |||
