I just wanted to ask any of you about your thoughts on using ibuprophen after being diagnosed with kidney cancer. I am having pain and thats what my General doctor has advised me to take. I am hearing that this is a bad idea? If I shouldn't take this what should I take? I am still waiting to talk to a specialist. Thanks Steve

Ibuprofen

My doctor said to not take any nsaids (ibuprofen or aleve) and to only take tylenol occassionally.

Kidney disease

Hi- I've had one kidney removed due to cancer; my husband has Stage III kidney disease because he did not understand the mechanism of the kidneys and how everything we eat or drink is filtered thru the kidney. He finally cut out all the salt and his disease is stable for now. The only OTC that either of us take is Tylenol, which is allowed by the nephrologist, my oncologist and our primary physician.
