my back is bothering me.......ibuprofen tylanol not effective.
by justlikeyou, Jun 28, 2007 12:00AM
im tired today, this all began because of an accident where i hurt my back 5 years ago.
anywho, my back is occasionally / regularly sore, typically i have a good day, do a little too much and pay for it the net day.
800mg ibuprofen or tylenol do almost nothing for me, (im 220 lbs can i take more?)
im sore and cant enjoy my day because i dont want to do anything because my back is sore.
is there anything more effective than ibu that wont become a problem?
advil, aleve etc etc?

i very much sympathize...
if you haven't tried hot epsom salt baths, and/or 3 Aleve at a time - try those.
i get it.. i just had to cxl plans for tonight because of the same deal.
but i just remember your posts and how inspirational they've been... so try this stuff first maybe?
good luck,
mj
but myabe ill give it a try?
it will be much easier to quit the exersise than the pills :)
You can try the Alieve...it's not IBU but in the same family...it's tends to work for a longer period of time. It is actually Naproxen.
If IBU is not helping. try some Alieve, and see if that works better than IBU.
The Doc. perscribed me 550mg 2 x Daily.....so what ever that is according to the over the counter Aleve??
Hope something helps you out!
