Remember that horrible bloated painful feeling----- Update on condition.... so after spending all day getting EKG, chest xrays and labs done the good news it is NOT heart related or life threatening.... BAD news it is a condition called costochondritis which is still painful. Evidently after I came off the Incivek and got the 2 blood transfusions I felt good enough to overdo it a tad. Normal life stuff didn't seem wrong but after spending most of 12 weeks in bed I guess it was. I am anemic and they say to take advil, IB, or Aleve to relieve the pain. (needs an anti inflammatory type of med) Trying to figure out now which one would be best--- any thoughts you doctor brains out there?
Aleve contains(naproxen and for the most part is considered an excellent OTC anti.inflammatory drug..with a bit longer acting mechanism than ibuprofen and most would say somewhat stronger for relief
Like any anti inflammatory . they can be dangerous to those with advanced liver damage due to blood-thinning action ,therefore possible bleeding problems and should always be ok'd by your physician.
Best ..
