Let her know she should be very careful with ibuprofen at that dosage level, Jay. Back when I was having chronic pain from a neck injury, all Kaiser would do is prescribe Ibuprofen, three of those 800mg monsters a day. Helped with the pain, but didn't fix it, and eventually led to chronic acid reflux (GERD). That kicked off a whole train of additional prescriptions, each of which had side effects that led to other problems. Took several years to kick them all, but the GERD is still a daily issue.
Thanks
We had no idea she was getting that many. Can’t envision she would take 3/day regardless of the pain, just not her style. Not sure she has ever completed a pain pill regimen. Even after her accident she didn’t take full dosage most days and got off them and then told the Dr she did.
I’ve had acid reflux from time to time, mostly seems triggered by hot and spicy, so I have to watch that.
