One evening after eating pizza, I had terrible indigestion and a lot of pain in my upper right back. I had this before and after a previous ultrasound, knew I had several gallstones, so I was sure it was my gallbladder acting up again. I figured I had overdone it, so I was careful with what I ate, but a dull pain stayed with me for five more days. I thought it was finally better, but only one day went by without pain....

Pregnancy / Painkillers Increase Risk of Miscarriage

Pregnant women who use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and aspirin increase their risk of miscarriage by 80 percent. The risk was increased if the NSAID use took place around the time of conception or if the drugs were used for more than one week.

Researchers suggest that the drugs suppress the production of prostaglandins, which are fatty acids needed for successful implantation of an embryo into the womb. The drugs may therefore lead to abnormal implantation that increases the chance the embryo will miscarry.

Dr. Farr's Comment

If you are pregnant and in pain, there are other alternatives than NSAIDs. Pain is a signal that something isn’t right in your body. Taking painkillers for the pain will mask the symptom but ignore the underlying cause of the pain.

Aside from the risk of miscarriage in pregnant women, NSAIDS may increase your blood pressure and your risk of heart and kidney failure. Click here for natural solutions.
