    So what’s the deal with ibuprofen, naproxen, and aspirin? Seems every time the subject may come up with a doctor, they say ibuprofen to me (last time it came up was when I had to pass a kidney stone, and boy I think I could’ve used an opiate for that one time…).

    Certainly a dramatic swing from 15 years ago when having a sonewhat sore throat during a physical landed me a prescription for opiate cough syrup…

      NSAIDs cause crazy increased risk of intestinal bleeding and and it inhibits the ability for the kidneys to excrete uric acid, they also increase the risk of heart attack and stroke.
