Some possible risks: Especially for older folk, there are some side effects to watch for. Do take them w/ food. Ask the doctor to moniter you for concerns like bleeding, tarry stools, abdominal pain, dizziness, etc. If you have none - it's good - but watch for any symptoms that are unusual for you. There are wrist braces and wrist strengthening exercises too. Check w/ Dr about breast-feeding safety if needed. Best!

I wouldnt: I usually don't have my patients take an nsaid together with a Medrol (methylprednisolone) dose pack I believe they both can cause gi side effects and taking them both at the same time can increase potential risks I usually stop the nsaids while the patient is on the Medrol (methylprednisolone) pack
