    They’re both bad long term.

    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.
