Guest guest Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Since people here seem to know a bit of everything, does anyone know if taking Aleve is contra-indicated when there are liver mets? Mom has the lingering pain from shingles in her leg and Aleve seems to help, but she worries about its affect on her liver. She goes for an MRI tomorrow; she could not get it last Monday as the guy couldn't get the IV in. Mom thinks maybe this is God's way of saying " Stop. " She does not seem to like the radiation oncologist much, even though I thought him more straightforward than the surgeon and RFA surgeon that she saw. I am where Monika was in regard to being anxious about the tests. I'm not at all sure that either Mom or I want to know. Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 Narice, Mom has not had any break through medication. She has high blood pressure so I suppose that is reason enough not to take Aleve. Thanks. sharon > I'd use her break through medication if she has it. > They use Tylenol or a milder form of Oxicodene on Phil and in a low dose now > but when he had severe pain they used an IV of morphine. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
