After I started taking this pill my left leg started having massive sharp pains and it got worse every day. I was in so much pain, I was in bed all day and night for a week and a half till I stopped taking them. Four days after taking I stopped it's slowly going away. Why is this happening and how do I get my leg back to normal? ## This medication is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and the FDA does warn that it can increase the risk of bleeding, which means there is a risk you've experienced a blood clot. If that is the case, your life could be in danger and you need to consult a doctor immediately. How are you doing, now? Has there been any change? Are you on any other medications?

can i die from taking 400mg of ibupofen ## If you're allergic to it or sensitive, it's a possibility, but otherwise it is very unlikely if you're a person of normal health. The amount in most over the counter tablets, such as Advil or Motrin is 200mg and people can take 2 of them at a time, if needed, for pain. It just isn't recommended that you always take a double dosage. Additionally, it can be prescribed by doctors in even higher doses. Learn more Ibuprofen details here. Did you take 2 of the tablets?

I only take that when the pain is unbearable. I'm experiencing side effects such as cramping, upset stomach and diarrhea. ..as expected. Should I take pepto bismol to help with the belly issues? Also, my family and I have noticed that I have become very grumpy since I started the meds. Is this a cause of the meds or simply from dealing with the pain? Side note- the issue for treatment is testicular pain, which makes me sick to my stomach by itself. ## Hi, Bo! Very sorry that you're so miserable, that's terrible!
