Of course all of this talk of aspirin and ibuprofen is a bit worrisome for me. With the diagnosis of Crohn's, my specialist put me on pentasa which is virtually the same as aspirin, but designed only to reduce inflammation in the intestines. The drug has been really helpful for me so far, but wholly cow, the dosage is 4g per day. yes, that's 4 grams!! I still don't know if it's safe for me to take an ibuprofen when the bursitis acts up in my left hip, as it did earlier this week, and am just bearing it until a visit with my doc.

Han, are you on the drugs to kill the bacterial infection? Have you ever heard of DGL - it's a de-somethingerized licorice that is healing to the stomach lining. It was helpful to me when I needed it a couple of years ago.

Heal well and fast, Han!
