Ibuprophen is a med that you can actually take large amounts of and it has always helped me, I was on 800 mg twice a day. It can be taken every 4 hrs in lower doses, and usually works well for swelling. Is it possible you just had a bad arthritis day, like a weather change or something?

No,no weather change but i took 200mg 2 or 3 times a day and the next day i was so stiff and swollen but i took one today and will see what happens..

I have never had this reaction, but I cant take much at all, as it hurts my stomach so much......in the u.k. they have withdrawn Arthrotec, which has shattered me. Just cant tolerate Ibuprufen....but swelling up after it sounds rather dangerous to me....take care...

Swelling is a sign of an allergy or side effect of meds. Maybe you may not be able to take ibuprophen

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
