pain relieif for leg pain. [View all]
I have lots of pain in my calves, probably due to the number of times a day I have to go up and down stairs. I read one place that Advil is a good painkiller for lower legs. What's the difference between Advil and Ibuprofin?
We both want to stay as long as possible at home. I have started limiting the number of times I go up and down the stairs to twice a day but sometimes it is unavoidable.

Good comments by all. Advil may interfere with blood clotting but doesn't thin blood.

The stair lift won't work on our stairway (I checked). Ours is a pre-war colonial (built 1940) as are many with the same

So, I can't answer your specific question, but I can offer you a possible alternative to pain killers
