For this reason, take lowest possible dose of ibuprofen for the shortest possible time needed to control your symptoms.

Ibuprofen is a funny one in the early years when I suffered a lot with infections because of my emphysema I also suffered a lot of pain with my teeth and was told never to take Ibuprofen because it would irritate my lungs. Well being a person that likes to do his own thing when it comes to meds/herbs I took them and eased my pain with no reaction whatsoever to my lungs if anything they seemed better whilst I was taking Ibuprofen and now I read that Ibuprofen "is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug" which answers why my lungs are better for taking them.
So really as some one has already wrote drugs react differently to everyone what maybe good or bad for some one could be the opposite for others.
I'll keep taking the Asprin and the Ibuprofen until something better comes along.

I can't take most NSAIDs ... I am asthmatic and it can bring on an attack. It meant when I had an op some time ago I got morphine based drugs for a short while..then paracetamol or nothing.My elderly father is on a low dose aspirin type drug and has been for some time. His last blood test showed him to be anaemic so he had to have a fibroscopy to determine if he had a stomach ulcer. He didn't, but they have taken him off the aspirin and will test him again in a while to see if he is less anaemic. If not ..colonoscopy for him.
He had however been complaining of indigestion and so on, I am wondering if it was the aspirin. He says that has gone now he is off it.
Everyone is different and what suits one person might not suit another. Luckily our family doctor is brilliant - he rang up the clinic on a Monday and got dad in for the fibroscopy the following day, as he dad was going off on holiday and the doctor thought it should be sorted quickly.
