Please, please, please, anyone who is currently on NSAIDS, please take my caution seriously. For long term, cronic pain relief, they can be very dangerous. In 2007, and again in 2010, I perferated an ulcer that I didn't even know I had. The first time I went by ambulance to the hospital, and because the pain was so diffuse, stomach, chest, and back, and finally began to stop after 8 hours, that because I mentioned chest pain, they only did a eeg to check my heart and said, well your heart is fine, we don't know what is wrong with you. And let me go. Then in 2010, I had the same pain again, and went to a different hospital, this one did a CT SCAN, and found air in my abdomen, and rushed me to emergency surgery. When I told the surgeon how I had this happen in 2007, he said that it had perferated and sealed itself, and I was lucky that I didn't go septic. Now I can never take anything with NSAIDS, and I always have to take nexium forever. I've also had several bowel obstructions. So please be careful with NSAIDS, they cause ulcers. I used to take motoring like crazy. Before the 2nd perf. I was on a course of mobic. I am a chronic pain patient, you can have decent pain control without NSAIDS. Tell the doctor you're having reflux really badly.
