P.S my inflammation is tendonitis in the feet through the heel up the lower calf and my knees and lower back.

Answer 1

What about steroids?

Not the illegal kind, but medication like prednisolone or prednisone can help with inflammation.

Answer 2

There are many NSAIDs and it may be possible to combine one of the less irritant ones with a PPI such as omeprazole to reduce the GI problem. I am afraid the only other alternative is likely to be an analgesic.

Answer 3

Sounds like Achille's tendinitis. Achilles tendinitis is most common among athletes whose bodies aren't properly conditioned for their sport or activity.

There is a topical product called Gluconex (also Ibunex) that may help ease the pain, when applied and wrapped with a sport brace. Also, try taking some Tylenol, which is not a NSAID.

Answer 4

Your GP can't offer an alternative? You need a new GP.

You didn't say what kind of inflammation. Have you tried steroids?

Answer 5

Tylenol interior the long-term can influence your liver costly. I recommend you to take Magnesium and calcium supplementations with diet D. very solid soreness reliever there is likewise an extremely solid anti-inflammtory organic supplement on the marketplace. you ought to purchase it in any well being nutrition shops. The call is Gulucosamine & Chondrotin. flow and a sprint exercising can help too. Take care

Answer 6

Direct corticoidsteroids injection into the affected areas were the ones that come to mind that relieve my bursitis and tendonitis.

The three types of NSAIDs most commonly used to treat many types of back pain and neck pain include:

Ibuprofen (e.g. brand names such as Advil, Motrin, Nuprin)

Naproxen (e.g. brand names such as Aleve, Naprosyn)

COX-2 inhibitors (e.g. brand names such as Bextra, Celebrex)

The type of NSAID recommended will usually depend on a number of factors, including the patient’s diagnosis, clinical situation and level of pain, individual risk factors, and the patient’s past experience with particular medications.


Ibuprofen (e.g. Advil, Motrin, Nuprin)
Ibuprofen was one of the original non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and is available without a prescription. For patients with back problems, ibuprofen is most commonly recommended to relieve mild or moderate back pain, tenderness, inflammation, and stiffness..
