Brief Answer:
Clen not likely the cause!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Sorry to hear about your pain. Where precisely is this pain located? Clenbuterol is not known to cause stomach pain. This is also an illegal drug? Was it prescribed by a physician or are you taking it for some other purposes? I will like to know more about this.

Vicodin may not be the drug of choice here if this is gastritis. I will suggest that you try to describe where precisely this pain is located so that I can suggest drugs for relief. I have a feeling that this may be gastritis.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and hope to hear from you as we continue addressing this together.

Yes, it's an illegal drug used by athletes.

The pain isn't specific. I've poked around trying to rule out any organ issues. There's just a general tactile tenderness. The pain is sharp, unaffected by eating, was accompanied by diarrhea 10 hours ago, but not since. No change in position alleviates it, and heat doesn't help. If I were to try to describe the pain I'd say it feels like the diaphragm, in that area mostly, but it is everywhere.

I thought it might be clean because clean is known to cause muscle cramping. Then again I am an athlete, I know muscle cramps. This is constant.

Brief Answer:
GO ahead and try the vicodin!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

If it is a non specific pain, then the Vicodin may help. Go ahead and give it a try and let's see what results we get. Should it fail, then we may consider getting you in for a detailed examination and treatment.

Illegal drugs are not god for health! A word to a wise is sufficient.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Keep me posted.

I believe it is gastritis looking it up. I've been taking Motrin for medial epicondylitis. I will discontue the ibuprofen. What should I take as an NSAID, and will antacids help the gastritis? The Vicodin has been alleviating the pain.

Brief Answer:
Take omeprazole for gastritis!

Detailed Answer:
HI,

Yes antacids would help with the pain and Omeprazole as well. If you have access to any, try them out. With you taking motrin, this sounds a more plausible option.

I wish you well. Keep me updated! All NSAIDS with anti inflammatory properties have this problem. What dose of Ibuprofen were you taking?

Doc rxed 800mg 3x day. I have some celebrex. Would that be a better option? The high dose NSAIDs have helped with the tendonitis, i hate to give it up.

Brief Answer:
Celebrex is a better option!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
800mg X3 seems a huge dose.

Celebrex would help as it has no effects on the stomach wall while doing the same job as Ibuprofen

So go on Antacid/omeprazole and celebrex to control both conditions. I wish you well.

Thanks. I know thats a huge dose, but 800mg Motrin is like candy in the US military. They prescribe it for anything from a papercut to cancer. Will celebrex have the same antiinflammatory affect, or will it be lessened? Thanks on the omeprazole, i went a got some, its helping s lot!

Brief Answer:
They are about the same.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

The dosage is okay but not in persons who have gastritis taking it. Ii I were your physicians, I would refrain from providing heavy doses to persons like you.

In any case, with omeprazole, you can carry on with the ibuprofen if you feel so attached to but celebrex is a better option.


Cheers!
