You don't find ibuprofen or naproxen helpful ?

Try fish oil. It really helps lubricate the joints. I find naproxen the best of the NAIDs. Swimming or any exercise in water (non weight bearing and full range of motion) will help. Ice helps reduce imflammation and slows the nerves fireing pain signals. People swear by tumeric. A number of companies package it as an anti-inflammatory product. Buy the store brand. The brand name labels can be ridulously expensive. You might also investigate the possibility of getting hyaualic acid(?) injections. It has a brand name and you have to fail trials of NAIDS to get insurance companies to reimburse for it but it has helped my father with his knees. It is also worth finding a really good orthodepic person. Often the PTs are more helpful than the docs since the PTs are the ones who put together exercise programs. Strengthening the quadriceps and stretching the liotibial band and psoas can help also. Knee problems can stem from problems with your feet. I got a referral to a foot specialist from the Boston Ballet. He gave me insoles which redistribute the weight from my hips down. And, if you are over-weight, losing weight can help.
Don't dispair. There's a lot you can do for your knees. Even if they're "shot."Zana

1000mg a day in a single shot ? Or round the clock.
I mean your reaction to NSAIDs may be different than others, so yes, to an extent they can.
Aspirin is much more likely to thin blood than either acetaminophen or ibuprofen. And this is generally a lasting effect as long as you are taking aspirin.
Its why low dosage aspirin is used as a possible preventative measure against blood clots (as is warfarin).
NSAIDs affect the stomach linings more, which could cause internal hemorrhaging with excess.-- Jay

I didn't know they made ibuprofen in 500s... "extra strength" acetaminophen/paracetamol is in 500s and the adult dose of that is 1g at a time for about 4-6 hours.
Ibuprofen usually comes in 200s... and normal high dose use would be 600mg 4x a day or 800mg 3 x a day... otherwise PRN use is typically 200-400mg for a headache/pain. Not too good in my mind/use as a fever reliever like acetaminophen.
