I had a stroke a year and a half ago and I am not allowed to take any NSAID's. I have had a fall on the ice and am in agony and Cocodomol just isn't easing the pain!!!
Is there an alternative anti inflammatory that isn't ibuprofen, nurofen etc?

Ronnie; You should give your doctor a call after a fall like that anyway and see what you can take for the pain. There are different types of NSAIDs that don't do what the old ones do. or just a short-term Pain pill please call your doctor.

Hi Ronnie, Cortisone is probably the next option, see your doctor as nothing over the counter will give you relief.

You can try natural anti-inflammatory herbs such as Tumeric, Ginger, and make sure has MSM in it as well as BioSperine . You can find 100s of them at good prices on Amazon. Com . Do a search ! Veritoform Health? And a great company call Bio Schwartz is a very good company and extremely well made without things you do not want ! Elliot
