Any anti-inflammatories that don't cause bleeding?

juliebb

My mom has terrible pain from arthritis (she's 76) and cancer treatment. The oxycodone works on some of it but the motrin worked really well on her knees. She can't take ibuprofen anymore because she has tumors in her lung that start bleeding.



Any suggestions on other anti-inflammatories that don't cause bleeding?



Thanks so much!

Zyflamend is a natural anti-inflammatory that you can buy online or at a health food store.  I used to take a lot of alleve and was having stomach problems because of it.  The Zyflamend seems  to work fine under most circumstances.

I read about Zyflamend in Dr Christine Horner's book about BC.

Hi,

Here's where tumeric/curcumin might help. It is supposed to be anti inflamatory. Ask the doctor about it.

One option may be Trilisate. http://www.umm.edu/altmed/drugs/choline-magnesium-028500.htm#Warnings/Precautions



It doesn't have a zero bleeding rate, but its low.

What about Arnica cream applied topically?

SoapMaker

Natural things such as ginger, boswellia, bromelain, etc, all of which are natural anti-inflammatories. Also look into MSM and glucosomine with Chondrotin, which may help after a few weeks of taking them.
