Answer
I use Advil regularly to help with my arthritis. I will often take 3 regular strength tablets when I am feeling very sore. I have heard that Advil can damage your kidneys if used excessively or over a long period of time. I find that if I take two Advil before strenuous activity it acts proactively to diminish the pain I would normally get from that activity. No matter how you use it, check with your doctor to see if it is right for you. You should not take advil with some prescription medications.
Before taking any medications for arthritis check with your doctor. I can only take Tylenol due to kidney damage and the risk of internal bleeding due to ulcerative colitis.
