A member asked:
Is it safe if i take motrin pills for calcaneal spur !!!! & how many times should i take it in day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes but...: You'd be better served rolling a frozen water bottle on your heel, stretching your Achilles' tendon, and wearing shoes with good arch support. Take the Motrin if those don't help as directed on the bottle. A 5-day course is what I would do but be careful as that med can irritate your stomach and raise your blood pressure.
