Ibuprofen Side Effect, Tingling in Hands?
Question by thisismyname: Ibuprofen side effect, tingling in hands?
I had my wisdom teeth removed at 8am today.
With my 2nd (quite large) dose of ibuprofen (accompanied by penicillin) at 4pm, I developed tingling jumping at my feet and arms, fingers and legs.
My feet are better as of 9pm, but my hands are still tingling at 1am. Places I look say this is a “serious side effect” and to contact your doctor, but the nurse we called from the oral surgeon’s said it is fine, to just drink lots of fluids.
I still seem unsure. Maybe I’m just worrying myself. I’ve been super lucky with NO pain so far with my teeth removal, but this tingling is really annoying and is scaring me.
Will this go away soon? Is this normal?!
Please help!
I did call the nurse from the oral surgeon who said this is okay and to just not take anymore.
They also gave me vicadin, but i don’t need anything that strong. I barely have any pain. I shouldn’t have dealt with anything to begin with.
They may call something new in, but I won’t take it probably. I just want my hands to feel 100% better! And the peace of mind this isn’t bad… i am a hypochondriac though.
My tingling has nearly subsided. With just minor pain in the muscle of the IV-‘d arm, I am feeling quite well. But still am curious to what this may be/have been!
Any other ideas are very much appreciated!! Thank you to those who have answered!
