Brief Answer:
Oxaprozin won't affect your brain function,it's NSAIDs....
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
I have gone through your question and understood your concerns.
You are reporting to be facing fluid retention in your knees. This might be due to bursitis or arthritis. X-ray can help in determining the right diagnosis.
You are also saying that you have consulted orthopedist who advised to take oxaprozin (this is the drug in my records, I could not find any drug under the name oxipreson).
Both ibuprofen and oxaprozin are anti-inflammatory drugs called NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs).
It won't affect your brain function.
If I was your caring doctor would also encourage to follow physiotherapy on regular basis as it will help improve the symptoms.
Hope it was of help!
