Hello. My name is Cheryl and I experienced an injury walking/running a 5K on April 5th of this year. I went to the doctor after 8 weeks of continued pain (had been receiving EMS treatments, massage, heat/ice up to that point). He prescribed a course of Predbusibe and something called Diclofenax (sp?). I took that for 5 days and while I was on it, the pain was gone. As soon as I was off, the pain returned. I ve been in physical therapy since June 10th (about 2X/week) and a week ago, I finished a MEDROL pack. I had been taking Motrin and Alleve up to that point. I am concerned about the potential damage to kidneys and liver from all these meds. I drink lots of water and having been taking a Shaklee Liver Detox supplement, as well as lots of Alfalfa tabs (arthritis, stomach upset) and so far, all seems O.K. I have been trying not to take anything for this pain until I just can t stand it, and then I ll take 200mg of Motrin and 1 Alleve. Should I be concerned about all the drugs I ve been taking for the last 4 months? I m not one to take this stuff (only holistic remedies) but am also on Losarthan, Singulair and Mimvey. I also SIT in front of a computer all day, which I know, isn t helping. I do get up and walk around several times a day, but can t walk for very long, because of the pain in my hip and lower back.
