Will It Be Safe To Take Prilosec For Pain On Right Side Of Upper Thigh?

Hi, I am having upper, right sided pain. I had my gallbladder removed a year and a half ago. This pain just started continuously 4 days ago. I thought this was resolved by having my gall bladder removed but now it;s back. I have taken prilosec for this problem as well for 8 years.

hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history of you.

As you have pain in the thigh and on medication since long I will advice not to undergo more of medication as the drug therapy is only symptomatic and can help only for a duration. Having more of the pain killers will make the kidney at trouble for which I fear if in future physician may not prescribe you any drug.

I will advice to undergo physical therapy and it will help you reduce the Pain without any side effects.

In my clinical practice we prefer to lower the drug therapy and add the physical therapy so avoid further damage to body on long runs.
