Comparison of NSAIDs and non NSAIDs for pain

Posted by cindiwass @cindiwass, Nov 26, 2021

Could someone help me to understand the pros and cons of ibuprofen, naproxen and others in that category? I don't understand the complications. I also don't understand about anti-inflammatories and plain old painkiller. I have inflammation in my knee and hip, but am beginning to wonder if anti-inflammatories over the counter medication is good for me.

Can I get a feedback from people who use a combination of Naproxen.
gabapentin and also using acetaminophen.
Currently I take 2-220 mgs of Naproxen twice a day along with 100 mgs of Gabapentin and varying amounts of acetaminophen depending on arthritis pain.

@dunkinmacdougall, I moved your question about Naproxen and combinations to manage pain to this existing discussion:
- - Comparison of NSAIDs and non NSAIDs for pain: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/comparison-of-nsaids-and-non-nsaids-for-pain/

I did this so you can read previous posts and connect with others like @cookierockwell @johnbluffside @marilynredder2367 @jenatsky @dmk @drorvick @nutmeg56 @macrdo and others.
