It has long been known that NSAIDs increase the risk of potentially fatal stomach and intestinal adverse reactions including bleeding, ulcers, and perforation of the stomach or intestines. These events can occur at any time during treatment and without warning symptoms. Elderly patients are at greater risk for these adverse events. Aspirin, for instance, despite being less popular than in the past due to the availability of other options, causes over 3000 deaths annually in the United States. 

This is from the National Pain Report. If you take NSAID's or know someone who does, please have them read the whole article, it could save their life. Use the title above or the link below.....

Working on the ambulance in Spokane I could always diagnose a lower GI bleed from the front door. There are no solid figures on how many people die from NSAID's, but it GI bleeds were a common call on the ambulance.

If you use NSAID's pleas use with them with caution. I know when you're in pain you will take whatever it take to make it stop. To die from a GI bleed is a slow painful way to die, so please be careful.
