Anyone have experience taking Ibuprofen daily over several years or more? My arthritis has worsened significantly over the past year and I'm taking it daily now, 800-1600mg. Doctor can't or won't give me an answer on how much is too much. It doesn't seem to upset my stomach if I eat it with food. Thanks.

Drink a lot of water dad had surgery to remove a tumor on a kidney he still has one and a half of a kidney but the doctor told him not to take it for much more than two days, and that was from Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota. I use bio freeze, grandpa liked aspercream, but with creams you have to find what works for you.

A guy i work with was taking them for back problems for several months,now he has stomach issues. He went to the Dr. the other day for the stomach problem, after they scope him they told him the stomach was inflamed from all the ibuprofen he had been taking.

Try 8hr Arthritis Tylenol it helped me. My doctor gave me 500mg naproxen I took two a day. I had both my joints replaced after to many cortisone shots. My joints are slow moving but I take nothing for pain. The Tylenol worked as good as naproxen for me. Any ibuprofen likes to spot your stomach lining the more I used it the less it worked for me.

It's most likely to impact your stomach. If you aren't having stomach issues, you're fine. I have taken 800mg 3 times a day as needed for back issues for long stretches. Have to take stomach pills when taking vitamin M for long stretches.

Tylenol can destroy your liver. Never heard of consequence son vitamin m.

Much safer than narcotics.

Ibuprofen effects different people different ways. I've been taking 1600 mg/day for the past 8 years. My golfing buddy says if he took two 200 mg tablets it would likely kill him. I always take it with food and a big glass of water. I think that helps.

Thanks for the inputs. I'm starting to research CBD as an option. Hesitant, though, as I get drug tested every so often.

As others have said everyone is going to respond differently. I would just be aware of the possible side effects. NSAIDs are known for being tough on the stomach and kidneys when used long term. bloodwork and urine profiles are helpful especially for monitoring kidney disease.

At times I take prescription naproxen for my RA. My doctor insists when I do to take a Prilosec to protect my stomach. I have been taking Humira for about 2 years now. It was a game changer for me.

Took it on a regular basis for a couple of years. Then all of a sudden, I started having stomach issues. Had an ulcer. Stopped taking ibuprofen and it cleared up. Haven't taken ibuprofen since.

Start using cbd. Excessive aspirin, tylenol or ibuprofen are bad. Cbd lotion works great on my pain, I haven't found the right oil yet.

My back surgeon told me, I could safely take 3000 mg a day. I can tolerate this level with no issues. When I have my yearly blood work up, my liver and kidney enzymes are slightly elevated. Doctor doesn't seem concerned about it.

I have dealt with a lot of back pain, arthritis, and bad headaches for years. I took it took too much. Ended up with ulcers twice. The second time I was taking some kind of med that was supposed to help coat the stomach. Did not work. Last time I six of them. Not fun. Was anemic for a long time after that last bout.
Not much fun but it is what it is.

I have been prescribed 800 mgs 4 times a day for 6-8 weeks several times now (tendon/ligament tears). I asked the doc the effects of that. He rolled his eyes and said "You can take a LOT more of this stuff than people think...dont' worry about it". Then said some people do get upset stomachs from it. If that happens we'll go with something else. I don't ..so have been using it for decades as needed without any issues.

Ibuprophen is a wonder drug, IMO........Docs like to prescribe other more expensive things, however....that have big side effects.
