NSAIDs also damage cartilage, tendons, etc by inhibiting the cells that grow those tissues. Doctors will tell you to take NSAIDs for pain relief. What they don't tell you is they accelerate the damage to knees and hips increasing the needs to replacement surgery.
Stay away from NSAIDs unless you can't bear the pain.
I first noticed a problem taking NSAIDs about 15 years ago. I went through a period of serious back pain and was taking ibuprofen regularly. Then I noticed some tenderness in my hip. I began questioning the cause because I wasn't doing anything strenuous at the time and started researching whether there was a link with pain killers and anti-inflammatories. I found a couple of documents that questioned the link, but didn't conclude the link. As things have progressed more and more documentation has appeared on the subject.
Now I don't take NSAIDs except when suffering excruciating pain.
