After some years of being told that Ibuprofen is a much better anti-inflammatory medicine than aspirin, now we're told that this product can make things worse. According to those who tested this on people found joint inflammation and cartilage quality got worse over the next four years compared to a group of 793 controls who did not take the drugs.
I gave up aspirin for aches and pains in my knees for Ibuprofen because experts and my husband believed it was much safer and worked better. As soon as I saw this story last week I stopped with the Ibuprofen and went back to aspirin especially at night.
Seriously, how much can we really believe when it comes to things like this. Doctors have been prescribing the Advil type pain killers for some time as they believed it was better than plain old aspirin. Now what will these doctors be recommending. It's hard to know what to believe anymore.
I was told to use Enteric Aspirin. The coating of the pill makes it less likely to irritate the stomach lining. CVS has large bottles of orange colored Enteric Aspirin.
