Judith I am just the same, on prescription and without it I am in agony with
arthritis in the knees, sometimes in the fingers if it is bad, and a bad
back I sustained years ago, BUT 2 x 600 a day has damaged my Kidneys now

That is a massive dose and if I needed that to control my pain, I
would be seeking a second opinion from a Consultant Rheumatologist,
there are other drugs that can be used.

What I am saying is, 'Watch your kidneys'. Have words with your Doctor over
this 'excessive' use of Ibuprofen.

I am fortunate that a very close friend is a Consultant Rheumatologist
and I have my fair share of doctors in the family.
