but it is NOT anti-inflammatory. So, if the source of your pain is accompanied by inflammation, I would not expect great results. A lot of people who cannot take NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen, naproxen-ALEVE or others) as it may cause less gastric upset or injury. It does carry risks of kidney and liver adverse impacts if taken in large doses and should be largely avoided if one has been told you have significant kidney or liver disease.

So, if you have not been advised otherwise, it may be useful short term- depending on the type;e of pain you are trying to treat.

In the long term--as I seem to recall you have had long-term chronic pain--you really may need to ask for a pain clinic consultation as you could have a more complicated issue that would require addressing nerve or rebound pain.
