Is it good to take ibuprofen or naproxen before football practice to help with my tendenitis?

Question

i have tendinitis in my knees and it hurts a lot if i don't take advil or aleve before practice, i was wondering if there were any short/long term problems that could occur from taking these during practices.

Answer 1

You can use ibuprofen or other NSAIDs for the pain. In addition, rest and gradual return to exercise is a common therapy. Vit E can also help to speed up the regeneration and increase the regenerative capacity of tendons.

Answer 2

Yes, and one after as well. do it consistently for it to work properly.

Answer 3

yes! thats for prevention of pain its  a good  idea.

Answer 4

Just make sure you don't over-do it. Long-term effects are more related to stomach problems, and can be avoided as long as you follow the dosing recommendations.

Otherwise, Advil reduces inflammation so it's a good match.
