Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I WENT TO THE ER YESTERDAY WITH SEVERE BACK PAIN. I HAVE HAD 4-5-6 FUSION SURGERY ON MY BACK IN 2008. I AGGRAVATED THE BACK OVER THE WEEKEND AND I COULD BARELY WALK AND NEEDED HELP GETTING UP. I AM 66 AND AM A MILD HEMOPHILIAC(A). I WAS IN SO MUCH PAIN I THOUGHT THE MEDICINE WAS A PAIN SHOT. I CHECED YOUR WEBSITE AND REALIZED IN WAS AN NSAID, WHICH IS A NO-NO FOR ME. AM I IN DANGER?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
NO your not in danger, but NSAIDs do increase chance of kidney damage and stomach bleeds etc, if you took one time NSAID you shouldn't necessarily be in danger.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
