Ibuprofen for Osteoarthritis Reviews

"Been taking ibuprofen 800 mg 3x a day, and always with food. A PA urged me to go off of it last Mon (now Wed) and replace it with tramadol; said he didn't know anyone who didn't get stomach ulcers or have kidney problems when on ibuprofen for an extended period. Each day pain grew worse until today I could hardly get out of bed as the pain was excruciating. Cooked breakfast in a hurry, switched back to ibuprofen, and now pain-free by noon."


"I take the 800 mg tablet for pain and have for twenty years with very good results."


Advil (ibuprofen) "Doesn’t even touch the pain."


"All I can say is that it relieves my pain. There are days and months that I do not use any muscle meds."
