My boyfriend's doc says I should stop taking NSAID's for pain because it could be causing my tinnitus. I only have tinnitus in my left ear. I thought ototoxicity occurred in both ears. I don't know if I can stop taking pain relievers because I have migraines, menstrual cramps and chronic back pain. Any ideas? Thoughts? Suggestions?

You have to control the pain first. I would just be very careful on taking Motrin beacuse it can cause you problems down the road. I take Motrin for my Art. flair-ups. It dontmakemy T any better or worse Good Luck

Thank you for your support. I also have TMJ. Just one more reason to take pain relievers. Well, I haven't taken any for 5 days now and so far I haven't had more than a headache. I also know Motrin can cause stomach bleeding. Yuck.

Hi Elle, have you let up on the NSAID's? And if so, has it helped your tinnitus or has it subsided?

I use motrin every day for severe ostearthritus and have had no problems. Unless motrin had increased your tinnitus within the first 5 days of use, I see no reason to discontinue. Some of us tolerate nsaids quite well.

I have not taken nsaid's for almost two weeks now. I don't notice a difference. I will try anything at this point. I will let everyone know if in three months I notice a difference. Thank you.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
