Hi and welcome to the GERD forum,
The info on pamprin is here - http://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug-151686/pamprin-max-oral/details/list-contraindications
Since you have such bad pain, ask your OBGYN why...could it be endometreosis?...if so, there is a surgery to remove the scar tissue and this helps with the pain.....better then taking meds and possibly developing something else....
And it is possible if you have been taking meds all along they may be the reason for your GERD....
Talk yo your Dr about the pain and see what it might be.
Keep us posted.Good luck
it's not extreme pain, just cramps it does not keep me from walking or any other activity. what i meant was that while i'm at work i just want to take a painkiller because it's hard to keep a happy face when my cramps are acting up. i've also read into endometreosis. thank you!
Hi! I sustained a compound fracture of my left wrist. I was prescribed Toradol short term, then Ibuprofen 800MG as needed. I did not supplement my Ibuprofen ingestion with an acid reducer (Pepcid, Nexium) and after 4 months developed one peptic, esophageal ulcer and several erosions (ulcer precursors) in my upper GI. My GI doctor prescribed Nexium twice a day and is confident the GERD is NSAID induced and that my lesions will be healed in 12 weeks.
