Ibuprofin was helpful for me in the past when taken with tylenol. Due to other medical issues though, I can no longer take any anti-inflammatory. That has made life a bit more challenging for me. One of the problems was an allergic reaction though so now they ban me on any. Besides bleeding issues on top of it.

I take this with the hydrocodone to boost it and make it stretch thru the day.

I wasnt aware right away but this is something that needs to be taken every day whether you have pain or not it will PREVENT pain. I have taken 800mg every day for about 9ish years. It helps tremendously and obviously helps with other pain as well.

No Help.

Started having stiffness and pain in my fingers last summer. I finally went to my Dr. then rheumatologist. All my labs came back negative. He said the xrays of my hands were normal also. During this time I also had not only hand pain but also pain in both feet. I took a round of steroids and tada! it was much better. Less pain this winter but as warm weather is coming round starting again this time in my elbows. Am I crazy? Its not like I want it to be but I just want to know.....
