Ibuprofen for Muscle Pain Reviews

"I gave it 5 stars only because it really did help me with my pain from pleurisy. I take one 800mg tablet every 6 hours when it flares up. But with long term usage (sometimes my flare ups last two weeks) I have noticed that I have felt extreme depression. Almost to the point where I see no reason to continue on. I didn't realize it was the medicine until someone else shared their story of ibuprofen with me. It had also made them depressed. So I immediately stopped taking it and within a few days was back to my old self. So moral of the story is that if you need to take ibuprofen please make sure you are doing it under a doctors supervision. Depression is not fun especially when you are in pain."


Advil Liqui-Gels (ibuprofen) "Advil works great for inflammation and pain but has anybody experience blood vessels breaking under the skin after long term use? If I scratch my arm over my clothes it will make a horrible spot. It only happens on my arms so weird."


Advil (ibuprofen) "When I have trouble sleeping, I can take one Advil and sleep all night. I also use Advil when I have pains in my muscles or back from exercising too much."


Advil (ibuprofen) "It's good for back problems."


Advil (ibuprofen) "About a year after having my daughter, my lower back and hips started hurting so bad (mostly from carrying her around) that I couldn't sleep. Advil worked great! One pill and I slept all night."


Advil (ibuprofen) "A soon as I took it I started having blurry images, I couldn't breathe and everything turned for the worse. I feel like everything that surrounds me are circling or rolling."


Advil (ibuprofen) "Barely touchs my muscle or back pain even if I take 2 pills."


Advil (ibuprofen) "I have severe hip flexor pain, and my doctor recommended this. It did nothing for it. "
