OK help me out here guys...
When I was a teen ibuprofen gave me BAD headaches and sometimes vomiting as well. Coming into the Army I was once perscribed Motrin (6 years ago) for whatever reason. I remember it making me tired and not doing anything for the pain really. In the last week of SFAS my left foot really starting hurting so I was perscribed Motrin (of course). I took it and it did relieve some of the pain in my shins, but I noticed when I blew my nose I had blood on the tissue every time. This lasted for about two days after taking the Motrin then stopped. When I got my Xray and bone scan upon returning the Doc gave me Naproxin and my stomach has been hurting when taking it and it makes me REALLY tired. Obvious answer here is to stop taking it, and talk with the perscribing doc. Good luck with that, it takes a month to get back with the same Doc here at Madigan (Fort Lewis).
Anyone else have the ibuprofen family mess with them this bad? I stopped taking the meds as of today, how many days is acceptable to start feeling normal again? I would rather my foot hurt than be a slug with a stomach ache!
