In my experience with long term use of Anti-Inflammatories, there are side effects no matter which one you take. Took Ibupfrofin for a while, started having stomach issues, same with Naproxin Sodium, same with Indomethecin (sp). Despite acceptable blood work and downing Acid reducers (Ranitidin)(sp) constantly as per doc's orders, everything I have ever taken long term for my Rheumatoid Arthritis has screwed me up elsewhere. Finally just said to hell with it and weaned myself off of everything and went on with life. Haven't taken anything in about 9 months, doing just fine. Get stiff and sore someimes, but would rather just work through it than tear my innards up any worse.
Just my .02
