So tired of trying to find an alternate pain relief med besides Ibuprofen. Since I only have one kidney now, they want me off the Ibuprofen for my arthritis. But so far what they offer doesn't work. :roll: I am now trying Neurontin that is supposed to be safe for my kidney, but also helps with inflammation and pain for arthritis. I am to "self-titrate" to find the right dose. So far 100mg capsule 2x/day was not enough and trying 3 doses a day instead. Still not up to what 400 mg. Ibuprofen 3x/day as to pain relief for better mobility. Getting frustrated. The one thing that works well I can't have and other things are Rx so I have to pay more for them as well. UGH!![]()
Sorry your having troubles. In case you don't know, you can't compare the dose of Ibuprofen 400mg to Neurontin, there totally different meds. Not uncommon for some to take 1500-2400 mg of Neurontin. Best of luck!!!
