I am 45 yr old female 200 lbs, stomach troubles and arthrtis started April of this year. I didn't take more than advil. I do not smoke or drink. 2 months ago I went to a reumatolgist who took xrays and bloodwork but could only tell me I was inflamed, I suspect a virus, I have tried celebrex, and etodoloc but have stopped. I am not in as much pain as in the beginning. The arthritis is in the feet, hands, knees, and spine.
Hello
It seems you have developed gastritis due to use of anti inflammatory medicines.
Gastritis is the inflammation of inner lining of stomach and this results in production of more stomach acid.
Although your pain is much less now as you have stopped the medicines but you may take some proton pump inhibitor like PANTOPROZOLE 40 mg once a day in the morning empty stomach for 2 weeks.
You shall be totally alright with this treatment.
Best of luck
