Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Ibuprofen belongs to class of NSAIDS which is not recommended for prolonged use due to its potential complications. You can take opioid drugs like Tramadol which doesn’t have any effect on kidney and liver. Wishing you good health.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
