Having a hard time w/ my stomach

I`am the gal who suffers with chronic fatigue and chronice face and head pain with no dx as of yet.

I`am having a great deal of pain and intergestion lately in my stomach. I`am suspecting it might be related to meds that I take for the face pain.
I`am wondering if any of you happen think.
I take tramadol and Motrin throughout the day. I have cut back on the Motrin and its not helping.
I take something stronger only at night if needed so I doubt thats whats causing this.

Any suggestions?

talk to your doctor, what are they treating you for? Face pain? like allergy or sinus pain? swelling?

stomach pain could be from the motrin, I hated that stuff. Or, could be IBS, only your doctor can tell you though, hope you get to feeling better soon.

Careful, that stomach pain could be an ulcer or something along those lines developing. Motrin is known to cause problems like that. I wold definately go to the doctor and have him check it out and see what he thinks, and stop the motrin all together in between. Good luck and I hope it all turns out all right.

I hope everyone is having a pain-free day,

First make sure you see a doctor about the stomach pain. I agree you could have or are developing ulcers.

In the meantime take zantac with your meds. Make sure you have eaten something with the meds to protect your tummy better.

Don't forget the doctor

Why thanks guys. I will certainly call my pc if it doesnt go away. Btw, I did go out and buy some Tums and Zantac but so far nothing is helping.
Tommorrow I have an appointment with a new neuro.
I sure hope this guy can help and dx me with this face/head pain, maybe then we can find a better treatment for the pain.

Hugs,

The Motrin could definitely be the cause. If you need to take it, make sure that you take it with food. That will help with the indigestion.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
