@marthadean be aware that Motrin can become addictive and be bad for one's body. Back in 2001, the military would only give me those types of NSAIDs. The dosage kept needing to go higher. It finally sent me to the hospital with an allergic reaction! I had physical withdrawals for three days. Triage nurse (and a Walgreens Pharmacist) said never take that stuff regularly. Just for a few days, when you have an issue like a pulled muscle or pain that needs some extreme inflammation addressed. After that, I was put on Opioid where I've stayed for chronic pain for 25 years. The several surgeries I needed (lumbar/hips) resolved my problems. but it was a long process to get there. The issue for which I take the opioid - my tailbone could not be addressed. So here I stay. Please research the long-term problems with using Motrin. It is not recommended for long-term chronic pain use.
