Also I think I am quitting ibuprofen. Stomach ache is worrisome.
Probably for the best. As fond as I am of the drug for headaches and menstrual pains it really is awfully hard on the stomach if taken more often than 'once in a while'. Acetaminophen's my usual fallback, but it has its own flaws, the first being what happens if you take it and have any kind of ongoing regular alcohol consumption in your life. (Don't know how it interacts with other meds, though.)
Want me to look into other OTC painkillers for you? Naproxen sodium (Aleve) is pretty potent, I recall. I don't know if they still sell ketoprofen (Orudis KT) but I can look for that too.
