Doctors' Answers to "Frequently Asked Questions" - Anti-Inflammatories
Anti-Inflammatories
Question: I have had dequaver's tendonitis in my right arm for 12 years and have a 3% permanent disability from this. My problem is that as I get older (I am 50 years old) I find that my wrist is bothering me more and more. I was given Relafen and Voltaren for anti-inflammatories and I have become allergic to these. I break out in a major rash on my trunk, and I started taking Ibuprofen for inflammation and am now allergic to them. What else can be taken to relieve the inflammation? I have a very high tolerance to most medications. What works on others usually does not or takes double the dose to work for me. I have no permanent physician and I'm curious as to what comes next after I have exhausted all anti-inflammatory drugs.
Answer: I'm kind of mystified as to why you don't have ongoing medical care with such a potentially
debilitating problem. Physical therapy and local injections are about all that is left if you can't
tolerate NSAIDS. See a sports specialist or orthopedic before you can't use this arm. It may
need to be casted to rest it.
