My kidneys are starting to go low functioning, what kind of over the counter painkillers can i get that dont affect the kidneys? my doctor said to use cream, id rather have pills, cant take tylenol, i break out in hives, what else can i take for pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
KIDNEYS AND PAIN: IF YOUR KIDNEYS ARE WEAK THEN ANY OTC PAIN PILLS OTHER THAN TYLENOL CONTAIN NSAID'S AND THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED AS NSAID'S CAN CAUSE MORE KIDNEY DAMAGE. I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU SEE A PAIN SPECIALIST
