Please read about the side effects of IBUprofen..... it destroys red blood cells faster than your body can make them. I was take Ibuprofen for several weeks for a knww problem and I became anemic. Check out the other pain killers as well. They are all harmful.

Wow good to know. Doctors didn’t mention this and I WAS taking Ibuprofen everyday for joint pain. But it isn't effective against PMG so took Tylenol with it. Now after watching Youtube videos about PMR I found out it affects the joints AND connective tissue. i am Anemic. Iron levels keep going down, but doctors aren’t concerned. Said keep taking iron. But WHY do my levels continue to decrease. What a complicated condition. But as someone else said it won’t kill you.

I did not know that. However, I did not notice side effects from ibuprofen and it did little to affect my PMR symptoms. Prednisone had noticeable effects on my bones and skin and hair, but knocked out the PMR like a champ. I do not want to stay on it any longer than necessary.
