I think a lot of folks don't think about side effects as much when they see what they are taking is helping with the issue at hand. In general we tend to get tunnel vision to what is happening at the moment, especially if there is a lot of pain involved. This video was very enlightening.
Great info! I've been taking Naproxen sodium for over 10 years to help control the arthritis in my joints, mostly knees and ankles. I have Crohn's disease and ending up getting colon cancer. Now my family doctor wants me to get off the NSAID, so next week I've got an appointment with a orthopedic surgeon to see about what can be done to fix my chronic pain in my knees and ankles. This surgeon I'm seeing did repair a torn meniscus in my right knee 5 years ago. Might be time to fix the other knee and maybe new knee down the road! Very time full info! Things can get very complicated as we get older, have to understand how one condition can affect other parts of your body. Love all of your videos, you come a long way. Keep up the great work. Love anyone who's last name has a Z in it!
Good evening everyone ☺ Dose anyone else think Dr Brad is incredibly HANDSOME ❤ love you all,great videos, educational ,informative and so reassuring thankyou from England 🇬🇧 UK
What is fungus of the throat? And how do you get rid of it? What causes it? What happens if you don’t have it taken care of and how do you get it taken care of?
Hi Isadora. The most common fungus would be candida. There are other more rare ones. You would need to be properly assessed by your family doctor. Best of luck. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Thanks for info but I am relegated to Tylenol and worry about liver damage! Tylenol doesn't help much for arthritis. Exercises help just as much. So what to do? Can I just go off Tylenol and just exercise and see what happens? I have been on Tylenol for a long time so do I stop gradually or must see my GP? Good to see the gastroenterologist again! Regards from Montreal.
Another great video from my fav boys in blue!!! I can't take NSAIDS because it triggers my asthma. Not a good thing. Keep up the great work of educating us.
I went through this in my mid 40's by taking too much ibuprofen, thought I was invincible and ended up with an ulcer. Read the labels, folks. Moderation!
Very informative video, thanks! This was a perfect opportunity to share a link to your video on The Best Foods To Reduce Inflammation. Always good to go the natural route if possible. Keep up the great work!!!
Awesome topic Docs. Unless you have had one that caused you pain most people wouldn’t understand the pain involved. I had one in my mid 30s the pain was unbelievable. Thxs Docs. Lov lov your videos. ❤️🤗🇨🇦
Always love your videos. Thank you for pointing out that getting help, seeing specialists & even seeing your own GP during Covid has been an enormous exercise in patience. 🙏
Was just curious if you have changed something in your video uploads that make the video appear “jittery”. I’ve noticed that the last 3 videos are different than the previous. I don’t have this issue with any other YT vids..The audio is fine, just the video seems off.. 🤷♂️ still love the work you do!

Great topic of discussion. Bravo guys. 👏 As someone like myself, who struggles with various body inflammations and pain (arthritis/back problems, etc), I almost never take NSAIDs because of the risk that they carry, even though I realise I would benefit from them.
Same here. I have severe osteoarthritis in my hands (a lifetime of crafting perhaps). My Rheumatologist had me start 1,000 mg of turmeric capsules 2x a day which I did a couple of years ago. I didn’t think they were doing anything until I completely ran out and supply chain issues and oooo-boy, I REALLY noticed a jump in my pain levels! Now, I’m back on it and bought an entire year’s worth and every time I use up a bottle, I replace one bottle.
You folks are excellent communicators. Thanks for your time and skills offered here on this channel. Here in Australia we have a wonderful radio programme, also available as an amazingly popular podcast throughout the world, called The Health Report. It's broadcast on the national broadcaster here - the ABC. I mention it only because you or your followers might be interested for whatever reason. THR has been on air for many years - researchers from all over the world are interviewed. It's run by Doctor Norman Swan, a brilliant guy who was offered the top job at the ABC, but he turned it down to stay with The Health Report. He's a national treasure IMHO, he ran a daily Covid podcast for 2 years to keep everybody informed.
Good evening to my north of the border RUclips docs. I miss my NSAIDS I Look @ my Celebrex bottle and say remember the good old days . Then put it back in the cabinet and get the arthritis strength Tylenol out. I have found out you have to be careful taking over the counter meds because some will interact with your prescription meds. You should always ask your pharmacist & read the brochures you get with your meds. Better to be safe then sorry. Thank you for having Dr. Naveen on . like you'll pics for guest docs . Can't wait till y'all have a oral surgeon on to see what y'all will say lol .
I have been taking Celebrex the last three months for knee pain and it has been fantastic….but I have noticed more stomach pains lately and have the horrid bleeding ulcer side effect black stools from stomach bleeding…so it’s No more Celebrix… might have to get a knee replacement after my ulcer stops bleeding. How are you dealing with knee pain?
8:45 Dr Arya says topical nsaid have less side effects but are less effective for pain relief of osteoarthritic joints. Is this true? Let's assume mild to moderate osteoarthritis of the knee. I would think that applying the topical directly to the painful knee joint would be as effective, if not more so, than taking pills.
Another great video Docs! I had H Pylori 3 years ago. Does that make me more susceptible or vulnerable to having more distress from taking anti inflammatory drugs? I've been trying to avoid these drugs for a while anyway but occasionally they are necessary and helpful. Thanks for sharing another great informative video! ☺️
Thanks for the information. I have an NSAID allergy that I never had until l turned 51. I was using too many NSAIDs before this age when running marathons. I always wondered what NSAIDs did to my stomach. I have never had ulcer symptoms.
Hey docs! What really prevents you from getting ulcers really?? Very curious is it from the type of foods we eat, or what we drink, or the type of medication??
I took Naproxen half a dose daily for over 8 years. Prescribed by my GP. Then I had a small bowel blockage which hospitalised me for a week and was "Conservatively treated". About 2 years later I had another small bowel blockage which hospitalised me for a week and was "Conservatively treated". In between and after I had multiple small bowel blockage which cleared whilst traveling to A&E or waiting for the GP to phone back. The last small bowel blockage was a year last march. After a hernia repair. A year last December a GP phones me up and in no uncertain words tells me to stop taking Naproxen. The following day my abdomen felt so relaxed. The next day my neck locks up solid. Three weeks later mid morning with no warning I get out of my chair to take the dog for a walk and my knees will not bend. I move my neck following RUclips physiotherapy video suggestions. Then months later going to the Gym just about resolves my neck issues. My left knee I manage to bend after 5 hours of Physio and heat pads. My right knee takes 5/6 days. Still in a lot of pain and my GP being useless. Last August I consult a Private knee specialist who states I need two new knees. My GP who prescribed the Naproxen still states there is nothing wrong with my knees!! Needless to say I changed my GP. Last March I had my left knee replaced.
I heard black seed oil works for this as a treatment 🤔? Can you make a video about TRT for male treatment and is it beneficial? Thanks and keep the great videos coming 👍
Taking them and not eating well/enough is what triggered mine, I think. Super uncomfortable and now I'm just in more pain than I was before the NSAIDS regimen lol
Hi Docs. Can you do an episode on antibiotic pre-med for joint replacement patients for dental treatment? In your opinion, is it generally really necessary and if so, for how many years post-surgery? Thanks.

In my twenties I consumed too many beers and took ibuprofens often on empty stomach. I got pancreatitis and gave up alcohol and the ibuprofen. Got a seriously sensitive stomach which took years to resolve. I can now take 1-2 naproxen a week ok. Thanks for the video.
Hi taking with doctors my family have been know to have stomach ulcers problem and no-one new how they get Ulcers and that's one thing of would have been interested know to find out so I watched this video and it asked all the questions I had to know about it area of interest.
I had my gallbladder removed 5 years ago. Now I find the area where my gallbladder was gets sore and irritated. Could that be from coffee, dairy and not from medication such as cholesterol or antibiotics? I worry that the pain is the beginning of an ulcer.
Hard to say Alex. Can be related to an ulcer. Sometimes the gallbladder stump can cause issues. Best to get reassessed. Good luck. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Hi Doc's, good seeing you. I had to stop using ibpropfen, after getting some test done Dr. told me my stomach was inflamed red from ibuprofen and was to only use Tylenol.
Do you know that, originally, blood thinner started as rat 🐀 poison? So the cows were hemorrhaging to death, bleeding from their eyes as it, the hay was laced with rat poison, finally a favorite cow died, farmer brought its carcass to the lab and told the scientist that he wasn't coming out until he discovered what had killed his cow 🐄, you're welcome! 🐈🐾🙃🤳
I remembered I would be taking so much advil back in 1999 till 2018 from my knee to carpel tunnel then on tylenol now for my gastric bypass surgery. Which my orthopedic doctor asked how much advil I was taking back then and I told him 2300 MG and he said that it can upset your stomach and give u ulcers. I told him that I don't have any problems at all. He was shocked by my response. When I had my gastric surgery I asked the doctor that did it he said you had no ulcers and your stomach was very good when he removed the sleeve. I was wondering about that all this time. I had no problems from taking advil back then every day 2300 MG.
I have fatty NAFLD. I’m trying to help my live with diet and exercise. I was told Milk Thistle helps has anyone have positive experience with this supplement?
My legs ache more than often, sometimes It is very hard goiong up the stairs. I will take Advil, mostly or Tylenol. How many times a week maybe 3 to 4, rarely more than 1 day. I don't know if it is from the Lupus, Provastatin or riding my bike, certainly if I walk 2 miles or more. I stretch in the morning, then I feel okay, but sometimes my legs are just stiff. I also have bursitis in my knee. I have been lucky, so far. But I will watch and lessen any Advil or Tylenol. Last 2 months I have had a pain in my stomach twice like you said, just an ache, I'll keep an eye on it. Tnx
I have NAFLD and I also have a severe allergy to paracetamol. It was diagnosed accidentally when I became very jaundiced so the doctor took blood which showed I had drug induced hepatitis. I had been prescribed paracetamol for pain after I broke my back and I never took the full amount of the prescription because I hate to take drugs. I think having the hepatitis caused my NAFLD. I have been trying natural medicine to try to fix it.
Hello doctor I have a serious concerns question, I consumed naproxen On an empty stomach I had high blood pressure lower and upper abdomen cramps and chest cramps Stomach burns continuously going to the bathroom. I’m confused lost scared
I had the upper GI testing done and they found 5 ulcers😐, now, a year later they are all healed but my stomach is still inflamed. I don't take omeprazole anymore either as that has caused small polyps. I don't have h pylori or cancer. I give up trying to "calm" my stomach. I have quit drinking coffee and eat a much more healthy diet😊
You should see another Dr and follow up on it. You could have Barrett’s develop or could have a gastrinoma that produces too much gastrin somewhere else in your digestive tract or pancreas. Drinking cabbage juice can help heal it.
Hi Docs thank you for this video and I did have the scope as i had pain and had taken alot of advil for knee pain and I did have a ulcer and now I cant take any of those meds just tylenol. All good now and just living the dream 🤗. Stay safe and hope this covid stuff isnt bad where you are it's going up here and in some other parts of the country and keeping the mask on when in stores etc. This is getting old 😷 but I'm hoping it keeps me safe as I dont want to get it. Love you both and hugs to you and your families. Maria from Upton mass USA
I was taking 81mg aspirin daily but then an array of acidic foods and drinks led to esophagus issues. Getting it scoped soon but had to give up coffee etc and on ppi. Taking the aspirin before bed allowing it to not dissolve in the stomach didn't do the trick but not entirely sure if the aspirin was the cause. Drinking 1-2l of seltzer a day might have. It's getting better though!
Interesting. My GP has done a bit extra blood tests during my 3 month blood work. One of them is H Pylori which apparently came back inconclusive. I have to redo it. I don’t have ulcers in my stomach nor esophagus. I guess he just wants to rule everything out with me being a senior citizen.
It also said friability of the stomach and I’m wondering if that can happen from taking Advil or if it could be more serious than that. He took 3 biopsies and I haven’t heard back yet. It didn’t say ulcers just stigmata and erosions and granularity. The pictures are not very high resolution. One of them there is what looks like the bottom of my stomach and it looks like a rose with frayed petals idk if that’s normal but that is a scary pic. All of them were a bright orange red- no flesh colored parts.
I had an upper gi a couple weeks ago and it said stigmata and evidence of recent bleeding. The dr said he would discuss at our next appointment. Idk if it’s normal or if it’s because I’m in a small town but now I have been wondering this whole time. I think dr.s should have a nurse who is educated enough to discuss the findings with the partients. Is this a new thing to just line the patients up and do 10-20 of them and discuss weeks later? It seems wrong not to know anything. I called over there a couple times but all they say is we will see you at your appointment but said they would call me- which they haven’t. I was just left with the statement if you get a fever or start bleeding then go to the emergency room. What if someone starts bleeding when they are asleep? Then they don’t make it I guess. I would have been a lot happier if they could have glued my stomach together while they were in there or whatever is usually done for ulcers. There should be some kind of standard or care so people aren’t left hanging like that.
Hi Buzz. It’s not ideal but if they were concerned about an imminent bleed your post op treatment would have been different and followup sooner. Hope you get the answers you’re looking for
Sorry guys but that gastro Doc is wrong .. H Pylori causes HUGE PAIN., & is very serious if not treated quickly .. NSAID drugs are a bad deal for everyone , With or without prior problems !!
Hi Shawn. What he meant is the presence of the bacteria itself is not painful as many people have it and don’t even know. It is painful if it is associated with an ulcer. Hope that clarifies it. Thanks for watching and subscribing

I don't know if it is from the Lupus, Provastatin or riding my bike, certainly if I walk 2 miles or more. I stretch in the morning, then I feel okay, but sometimes my legs are just stiff. I also have bursitis in my knee. I have been lucky, so far. But I will watch and lessen any Advil or Tylenol. Last 2 months I have had a pain in my stomach twice like you said, just an ache, I'll keep an eye on it. Tnx
Be careful Grace and maybe review with your doctor. Thanks for watching and subscribing
How about popping a pepcid at the same time?
Yes Kerri these approaches can help but aren’t perfect. Thanks for watching and subscribing
I have NAFLD and I also have a severe allergy to paracetamol. It was diagnosed accidentally when I became very jaundiced so the doctor took blood which showed I had drug induced hepatitis. I had been prescribed paracetamol for pain after I broke my back and I never took the full amount of the prescription because I hate to take drugs. I think having the hepatitis caused my NAFLD. I have been trying natural medicine to try to fix it.
Wow. Best of luck.
As someone who has periods lasting 2 weeks with extreme pain, I have been using Advil for 25 years. Now I’m having ulcer symptoms…
Oh no. Sorry to hear this
Hello doctor I have a serious concerns question,
I consumed naproxen On an empty stomach
I had high blood pressure lower and upper abdomen cramps and chest cramps
Stomach burns continuously going to the bathroom.
I’m confused lost scared
It can be related to naproxen. Best to stop taking it and if the pain continues see your doctor. Hope it’s ok. Thanks for watching and subscribing
I had the upper GI testing done and they found 5 ulcers😐, now, a year later they are all healed but my stomach is still inflamed. I don't take omeprazole anymore either as that has caused small polyps. I don't have h pylori or cancer. I give up trying to "calm" my stomach. I have quit drinking coffee and eat a much more healthy diet😊
Glad to hear you are on the mend Mary! Thanks for watching and subscribing
Did you cured from ulcer
You should see another Dr and follow up on it. You could have Barrett’s develop or could have a gastrinoma that produces too much gastrin somewhere else in your digestive tract or pancreas. Drinking cabbage juice can help heal it.

Hi Docs thank you for this video and I did have the scope as i had pain and had taken alot of advil for knee pain and I did have a ulcer and now I cant take any of those meds just tylenol. All good now and just living the dream 🤗. Stay safe and hope this covid stuff isnt bad where you are it's going up here and in some other parts of the country and keeping the mask on when in stores etc. This is getting old 😷 but I'm hoping it keeps me safe as I dont want to get it. Love you both and hugs to you and your families. Maria from Upton mass USA
Thanks so much Maria. Hope the ulcer stayed away. All the best! Thanks for watching and subscribing
I was taking 81mg aspirin daily but then an array of acidic foods and drinks led to esophagus issues. Getting it scoped soon but had to give up coffee etc and on ppi.
Taking the aspirin before bed allowing it to not dissolve in the stomach didn't do the trick but not entirely sure if the aspirin was the cause. Drinking 1-2l of seltzer a day might have. It's getting better though!
The scope will help identify the issue for sure. Best of luck Richard. Thanks for watching and subscribing
What about injections?
Injections can help reduce arthritis. You can still develop ulcers from IV medications but less common. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Sir im 20 years old and i had a disc bulge and i took NSAIDs for 2 months and i have some problem in digesstion and gas how can i treat it
Interesting. My GP has done a bit extra blood tests during my 3 month blood work. One of them is H Pylori which apparently came back inconclusive. I have to redo it. I don’t have ulcers in my stomach nor esophagus. I guess he just wants to rule everything out with me being a senior citizen.
Good luck Cathy! Thanks for watching and subscribing
It also said friability of the stomach and I’m wondering if that can happen from taking Advil or if it could be more serious than that. He took 3 biopsies and I haven’t heard back yet. It didn’t say ulcers just stigmata and erosions and granularity. The pictures are not very high resolution. One of them there is what looks like the bottom of my stomach and it looks like a rose with frayed petals idk if that’s normal but that is a scary pic. All of them were a bright orange red- no flesh colored parts.
Yes this is common. You may have had a small bleed in the past. Best of luck
@@TalkingWithDocs ok thanks!
I had an upper gi a couple weeks ago and it said stigmata and evidence of recent bleeding. The dr said he would discuss at our next appointment.
Idk if it’s normal or if it’s because I’m in a small town but now I have been wondering this whole time. I think dr.s should have a nurse who is educated enough to discuss the findings with the partients. Is this a new thing to just line the patients up and do 10-20 of them and discuss weeks later? It seems wrong not to know anything.
I called over there a couple times but all they say is we will see you at your appointment but said they would call me- which they haven’t. I was just left with the statement if you get a fever or start bleeding then go to the emergency room. What if someone starts bleeding when they are asleep? Then they don’t make it I guess. I would have been a lot happier if they could have glued my stomach together while they were in there or whatever is usually done for ulcers. There should be some kind of standard or care so people aren’t left hanging like that.
Hi Buzz. It’s not ideal but if they were concerned about an imminent bleed your post op treatment would have been different and followup sooner. Hope you get the answers you’re looking for
@@TalkingWithDocs ok thanks for responding!

Sorry guys but that gastro Doc is wrong .. H Pylori causes HUGE PAIN., & is very serious if not treated quickly .. NSAID drugs are a bad deal for everyone , With or without prior problems !!
Hi Shawn. What he meant is the presence of the bacteria itself is not painful as many people have it and don’t even know. It is painful if it is associated with an ulcer. Hope that clarifies it. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Needs to more informative
Maybe other channels can be better for you Robert
