@ 2 yrs ago I had a stomach ulcer, no problems since. dr took me off all arthritis med. My severe pain arms, neck, back,legs & knees have made me sedentary. 15 to 20 lb weight gain..I can barely walk of lift my arms. I took one 800 Ibuprofen today & it helped with the imflammation....am I playint russian roulette?.....Thanks....
I would suggest you add pantoprazole 40\u00a0mg along with every dose of ibuprofen you are taking as you have a significant history of stomach ulcers. The dosage can be up to a maximum of 3200\u00a0mg/day, but that will increase the risk of renal side effects. The lower the dose the lesser the side effects. I suggest try to take two400mg tablets, one morning and one evening. If pain doesn't subside then revert to 800\u00a0mg tab once a day
