Generic Name: Aspirin for Osteoarthritis (aspirin)
Aspirin for Osteoarthritis Reviews
"I have been taking 3-325 mg enteric aspirin tablets in the am and pm for 30 years That is 975 mgs per dose. When I have to go off aspirin for surgery, my hands get seriously inflamed and stiff and painful. I have never had any stomach problems with enteric aspirin. Recently, aspirin has become hard to find in large quantities like Costco and Walgreens used to sell. In small quantities, it costs 3 times as much per tablet. Please, somebody return to selling it in large economy sizes."
"I have found that aspirin has been an amazing help with the arthritis pain that I have dealt with over the years. I don’t know what got into me to give aspirin a try, but am I ever glad that I did! I had thought that naproxen was the best I could do for pain using over-the-counter medicines since it had been a prescription drug at the time it was prescribed for me several years ago. However, at least for my shoulder pain problem, it has been the other way around."
"Aspirin suits me best because I do not suffer from H-Pylori,otherwise,it may cause ulcers although Lansoprasol or Omepresol can prevent the stomach issues. The reason that Aspirin is best is because it helps along with Vit C and Omega 3 to lubricate the joints which is essential for painless movement. I sometimes inter-change with Ibuprofen which because it is coated lasts longer than Aspirin but I have no knowledge of Naproxen."
"What I told my Physical Therapist today, about what Tylenol does as far as helping my pain goes, that it curbs the sharp, piercing, type of pain that is not tolerable. My Chronic Osteo, plus many Fractures, Replacements and Removals. Told I have very, thin, long Bones, and Painful, Avascular Necrosis. I also have had many injuries, most recently, from Seizures, slips and falls. Suggestions for the best Pain Meds. for regular 7- 10 Pain #'s ? Unmanageable."
"Aspirin is the only drug that really helps my hip and knee pain. I have had OxyContin, Panadeine Forte, and Panadol. I got nausea, dizzy spells, tiredness, and even the heavy drug didn't help as much as aspirin. Everyone is different, but for me, I get the best relief from aspirin. I take two 300 mg tablets 3 times a day, always on a full stomach, and I crush them in raw honey (hopefully supposing that would be easier on the stomach). The anti-inflammatory properties, which Panadol doesn't have, help me. I worry about the bleeding effect and am still researching it, but so far, there are no signs of that. I do take a break from them every once in a while."
Bayer Aspirin Extra Strength Plus (aspirin) "Worked much better than generics. 1 Gram 3 times a day with meals."
