Neuropathy after TKR: I'm 68 and fearful of future

I was thinking about the same thing about that much ibuprofen, though I was thinking liver. I made a mistake of doing something similar that my GI doc recommended, and it messed up liver function after 4 weeks

For years I took Motrin 800 (prescribed). I’m also on a lot of meds. My liver IS messed up. (I do have a inherited genetic defect that can cause it) I have to be careful what more I take. I have to take something for the neuropathy and the other conditions I have. That said, a person can’t reverse liver disease once it is damaged, but can stop its injury. I wish I knew back then what some otc items can do damage.

Yep, liver, too. I had a friend that used to work at the liver transplant center in NOLA. He said it was shocking how many people who were perfectly healthy came in after taking too much Ibuprofen (and some only ONE TIME) and had to immediately go on the liver transplant list.
