    If you take ANY Nsaids regularly and have been for a few years you should have a full blood workup done at least once a year. The GFR test is where the Kidneys are tested. I have a GFR of 76, and that does show mild kidney damage. I take Nsaids ONLY when approved by my physician.

    The wife wishes I would take OTC pain relievers.... I run open deck, usually OD loads. I've had a 'bad' back since 17, screwed up my neck in my mid-30s, got a whole mess 'o nerves that aren't wired quite right, then there's the sciatica and migraines.... Sometimes she'll sit next to me knowing I'm gritting my teeth but she knows better than to suggest anything that might mask the issue. I think, for me, I'd rather feel the pain and know what not to aggravate than hide it and screw something up worse than it is.

    May not be a good idea to admit to using a banned substance in a public forum.

    Cbd oil isn't a banned substance. Not anymore.

    It's legal but popping ibuprofen all day is incredibly unhealthy.

    I take a baby aspirin everyday to help protect my heart.

    I have taken the 81 MG dose of aspirin for the last 20 or so years. I also take Clopidogrel because I have some light CAD. This is why I have to be very careful when I do my insulin injections or I will bruise very easy.
