A member asked:
As a kidney donor what type of medication can i take for pain and inflammation? specifically for pain associated with vigorous workouts
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Avoid acetaminophen: Try to avoid pain meds that are secreted by the kidneys. For inflammation Acetaminophen would not be effective, would recommend Ibuprofen as an initial treatment and see how you respond. If you have other concerns contact your nephrologist.
