A member asked:
I have chronic arthritis in my hips and back. i've been in a lot of pain and taken two ibuprofen 800mg. after the fact, but is that ok?

Assuming your kidneys are normal should be OK. Go to Drugs.com and look up maximum dose for someone like you. Many take this much from time to time. If you are overweight ie BMI more than 30 then see if losing weight helps arthritis. Say u r 20 lbs over BMI of 25. This means hips & back & knees may be aching because you are carrying around 80 sticks of butter on your body & taking off may help
