If you do take ibuprofen, be aware that you probably need to also take extra B vitamins. It is known to deplete a specific B vitamin. A quick google suggests it is B12, but I suggest you do some research of your own to confirm that.

I took daily ibuprofen for years. It is commonly prescribed for my condition. My need for B vitamins plummeted when I finally got off of it.
