Suggest Treatment For Arthritis And Acid Reflux While On Indomethacin

NSAIDS side effect
Detailed Answer:
Good evening
thank you for writing on health care magic
Well, if you are experiencing constant acidity it is better to go off this drug as it can cause ulcer in the stomach...Which if ruptures can be really worrisome...I hope you are taking Antacids along with indomethacin
But I will want to know the exact reason you are taking this drug for...Arthritis is only in the Jaw( Temporomandibular joint) or somewhere else also??? And what sort of arthritis is it??Has any other therapy been tried...
As for the pain, you can take either Ultracet which will not harm the kidneys or Selective Cox 2 inhibitor if the pain intenstity is a lot( something like Etoricoxib)
But do let me know these queries before I can guide you further to a solution

Osteoarthritis
Detailed Answer:
Good evening
Sorry for the delayed reply. Had a long day at work
Well, for osteoarthritis Indomethacin is not a good drug...It will harm your stomach more than providing any benefit. The arthritis in hand and feet I am suspecting is again osteoarthritis.
I would suggest you switch to Ultracet for the pain. If the jaw is bothering too much, we may need a bit of surgical intervention. Sometimes they mould the jaw bones so the pain goes of or You can get a local injection in the jaw joint as well
Hope the information was useful
DO let me know for more queries
Regards
Dr Naval
