NSAIDS are indiscriminate COX inhibitors (which is why they mess with your stomach, COX-1 is part of the stomach lining goo production). COX-2 inhibitors such as Celebrex don’t have this issue (or at least significantly less).
Personally I don’t find any of the COX inhibitors to be effective at all, and their risks are well above 0.
Makes me wonder if other, supposedly “risky” drugs are actually a better choice.
Problem is, I often have pain, so I try to do all I can to reduce the already significant amount of ibuprofen I use.
You gotta step up to naproxen, bro. Just make sure you eat something with each dose or it will fuck up your stomach.
They’re both bad long term.
