Motrin

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'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...
