IBUPROFEN vs INDOMETHACIN

And don’t you DARE tell us it’s the same as the prescription pain meds. That’s just medical gaslighting and we’re SICK of it.

This is meant to be silly, I spent like 30 minutes making this based on personal and shared experiences. Please feel free to add any squares you think I missed c:

I won my disability case a few months ago (after 3.5 years of delays) and recently signed up for an Aetna Medicare Advantage plan. They keep sending me these condescending letters about the opioids my doctor prescribes me. I have had multiple failed spinal fusion surgeries. I've tried everything fro

Why? Because over the counter meds such as Tylenol/ibuprofen/Aleve can cause organ damage and opioids can cause addiction. So, it's basically a lose lose either way! It sucks! Edit: Thank you all so much for your comments! I unfortunately can't read and reply to them all as quickly as i would like

A rant, be warned I'm so pissed off with the way my doctor is treating my pain after major surgery. Not ONLY do I have break through pain from surgery, but I also have had issues with my bladder from that damn catheter so it's extra painful.

I thought suspending agent like methylcellulose is going to slow down sedimentation of the placebo powder, but I never expected to see s

Physician here. I saw a pt in clinic today who showed me a pic of a med he took for his back pain (from Mexico). It was a tablet with a steroid(cant remember which one but it was 0.5mg), 25mg indomethacin, and methocarbamol (don’t remember dose). It just got me and one of my partners talking. What
