Sometimes it works, but I have to admit that i'm trying to kick it. I'm scared of ruining my stomach.

Always helps me with inflammation when I over do.

Use it when unbearable,but not often ,because it's bad for my liver.

I stopped taking it a few weeks ago because I'm having a mole removed and they said no NSAIDS for two weeks. Oddly I'm doing fine without it! I'm taking Tylenol instead. I now realize the Ibuprofen had been causing constipation and water retention for a long time which is now gone.

Works OK - I usually experience partial but not complete pain/inflammation relief - am taking 400 mg 2-3x/week.

Only take it when I have a REAL flare. When on it for a week or more, it makes me swell up more with fluid, mainly in my legs.
