Highly recommend Naproxen or Celebrex vs Ibu. The Ibu is much worse on your organs, especially if you take it daily. Celebrex can have, if I recall correctly some impact on your kidneys instead of the liver like Ibu. Personally, I'd much rather use late generation NSAIDs than the old stuff, they typically last longer with smaller dosages and fewer side effects long term.
Actually, to elaborate a bit, the medical community is slowly realizing how terrible Ibu is on your system. Recently the recommended daily max dose was reduced by 25%, and that new limit, according to Harvard Med, is still far far too high. As I recall (it's been like 2 years since I was really researching it), anything over 750mg/daily is known to have impacts on your liver despite the "acceptable" limit being set around 1500mg/day depending where you read. That 1500mg/day might be fine if you take it once a month or once in a while as needed, but daily doses need to be quite a bit smaller.
Food for thought. Ask your doctor, in some cases the pain relief is worth the risk/reward when other NSAIDs don't cut it.
