Taken around 1400 mg all at once of ibuprofen a day off and on for a few years for pain.. should i be concerned about long term kidney health?

Bad idea!!: Too high a dose can lead to kidney damage. Try just following the directions. If simple over the counter meds don't take care of the pain you need to see your doctor for more potent relief. If you keep exceeding the dosage, you're likely to wind up with major kidney damage.

Definitely: I would definitely be concerned, i would recommend you stopping it and having your kidney function checked by a doctor.
