Thanks very much - it's good to know this is a drug to avoid coming from a nephrologist.

I wonder if the same applies to another Rx NSAID, Celebrex. I know a guy at the gym who takes 100mg/day for general pain in his back, neck, and shoulders. He also takes a diuretic for lymphedema. That sounds like a bad combination.

@heyjoe415 My nephrologist say no NSAIDs. Not even topical ones like Voltaren. For pain, I am limited to acetaminophen (or colchicine which is only effective for gout, pseudogout, and Familial Mediterranean Fever). I was given naproxen on the day of hip replacement surgery even though I had told the orthopedist no NSAIDs. I don't seem to have suffered any consequences. (knock on wood).
