A member asked:
Can advil (ibuprofen) stop hand pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anti-inflammatory: Advil (ibuprofen) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication. That means it treats inflammation, but it is not a steroid. It reduces the effects of inflammation which can be painful, but it also has some direct effects on pain. Whether advil (ibuprofen) can reduce your hand pain will depend on what is causing your hand pain though so this question is hard to answer.
