Question : I'm in remission from None-Hodgkin's Lymphomas since this past January. I'm missing one Kidney due to the cancer other wise I 'm doing very well and still recovering form the kidney surgery since last XXXXXXX of 2015. But I do not let that stop me. I am a basketball referee as will I just hurt my left knee a bit (hyper extension) and a bit swollen. Since I have 1-kidney and the kidney is at a function of about 48% based on doctors information to me. So I'm doing everything I can to protect the one kidney I have left, such as cutting sugar out as best I can. Eatting healthier foods and more fruits as well. Since my knee is swollen I'm thinking about taking Pamprin for the swelling do you think this is ok. I do not like taking any pills that can effect my one kidney I have left.
Brief Answer:
Pamprin can be used
Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir.
I can certainly understand your concern.
I have worked through your query in detail.
Yes, indeed you can use Pamprin for your issues.
Additionally, you need to basically go for an X-ray knee both in AP and lateral views to decide if any joint pathology is present.
Post your further questions if any.
Thank you.
