Do be aware the ibuprofen and the like can be incredibly hard on your stomach. Ibuprofen caused gastroenteritis so severe I went to the ER due to the excruciating pain. Apparently daily/frequently usage is often associated with gastroenteritis. Which sucks because it is effective. I recommend taking natural antiinflammatories instead. There are quite a few which are effective. Also, ranitidine (commonly suggested for stomach acid issues) is very well tolerated by the stomach, cheap, and really effective at controlling inflammation.
