Please get yourself to your doctor.  In the interim, ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory.

The best thing to do is check with your doctor.  A drug that has been used to stop periods when women are having heavy bleeding is called Megace.  There are other ones that are used also.  Progestogen can delay your period.  It has to be taken 3 times a day for as long as you want to delay the cycle.  As with any medication, there are side effects that you would also want to consider.  I will list some websites that will be useful in helping you to get more information about this topic.  Good Luck & have a Happy Anniversary.

no   \nUSAGE:\nEtodolac is used to relieve pain from various conditions. It also reduces pain, swelling, and joint stiffness from arthritis. This medication is known as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).\nWARNING:\nThis drug may infrequently cause serious (rarely fatal) bleeding from the stomach or intestines. Also, related drugs rarely have caused blood clots to form, resulting in heart attacks and strokes. This medication might also rarely cause similar problems. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about the benefits and risks of treatment, as well as other possible medication choices.\n\nIf you notice any of the following rare but very serious side effects, stop taking etodolac and seek immediate medical attention: black stools, persistent stomach/abdominal pain, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, chest pain, weakness on one side of the body, sudden vision changes, slurred speech.

Well, it's basically an inflammation.  Anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can be an enormous help.  Unfortunately, oral administration distributes the drug to the whole body, and the place where you need it can be under-treated.  Plus, ibuprofen and aspirin can cause stomach problems if you start raising the dosage.  \n\nThere is a solution- topical administration.  Ask your doctor for a prescription for ibuprofen cream.  It is usually called something else, like ketoprofen, and can be made with a topical pain-reliever such as bupivicane (like lidocaine).  Keep in mind your doctor may not have heard of it, and that it has to be compounded.  Check your phonebook for local compounding pharmacies so that you can give your doctor their phone number. Typically the cream comes as 10-20% active, which is possible because it will never be in your stomach to cause problems.  Unfortunately, because it has to be compounded, your insurance company will probably not cover it in the same way as regular drugs.  You may be looking at paying $50 for a 4oz jar. \n\nWhen you apply- be sure to really rub and massage the cream into your hands hard for 5-10 minutes.  This will help just as much as the ibuprofen will, because the muscle work will greatly increase blood flow to the area.  Together, massage and anti-inflammatory therapy can provide great relief.\n\nResults vary with patient.  I hope you find it useful.

Taking 800 mg of Ibuprofen is going to help you more than anything else.  It's prescription strength.  Also it has an anti-inflammatory in it so it's going to work better than Tylenol or aspirin.

Actually, no. You need to talk to your gyn about reasons for your dysfunctional uterine bleeding. The treatment options will depend on the underlying cause, but there are choices and you don't have to suffer. You are losing too much blood and it needs to be checked. Fibroids and adenomyosis are among leading causes of DUB, but talk to your doc about the specifics of your case.  Good luck.

The typical RX for Motrin (IBU) is 800mg x 3/day.  This is based on a 150lbs person.\n\nLong term side effects of NSAIDs can be stomach issues.  IBU is mainly excreted from the body in the kidneys.  If you have any urinary issues, you need to be watchful of that.\n\nNSAIDs are typically best taken in a consistant form vs. pulse dosing.  especially in a chronic condition such as yours.   You may want to ask your MD about taking a maintance dose of 200MG 3 times a day and in the event of more pain giving a higher dose.\n\nAlso, ICE/Cold is a great treatment for inflammation that occurs.\n\nThere are some alternative medicine possibilities also.  Accupuncture and a Doctor of Osteopathy are a couple.  You may want to consider those also.\n\nPhysical Therapy and stretching can also help.

NSAIDs thin the blood, decreasing the inflammatory response. But they can also weaken the arterial and cardiac walls with long-term use.

Thrombocytopenia, immediate help can be done by taking one baby aspirin per day.  You must consult your doctor first and let him know what you are taking even if it is only aspirin.  Aspirin can lower the platelet count significantly.  The White Blood Count is a measure to see if you are fighting off an infection.  Are you?  You may need to put on some antibiotics as I really don't know what else is wrong with you.  LOL

It depends on the type of arthritis, Osteo-arthritis from wear and tear can be treated with aspirin up to 4 grams in divided doses. The problem is the great chance of bleeding peptic ulcers. Tylenol is ok but doesn't have the antiinflammatory component.Some choose Aleve but it can cause bleeding also. Rheumatoid arthritis tends to be more complex. Opiates are sometimes given. A physician's advise is imparative for all types of arthritis,

Naproxen is a pain-reliever that is commonly prescribed for tendonitis. Combining it with aspirin can cause bleeding problems.

Absolutely. NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) are very dangerous. Ibuprofen, in fact, can increase your risk of heart attack (http://news.scotsman.com/index.cfm?id=635702005), or more commonly, cause internal bleeding.  The best thing you can do is to figure out what's causing the pain, and then eliminate the cause.
