New insights into why aspirin works so well
annecdata:<p>aspirin is pretty good as an anti-inflamitory and hence pain-killer. the reason i don&#x27;t take it is that it irritates the stomach, and i have enough issues with my insides as it is (irritable-bowel syndrome - not fun)<p>i currently use cocodamol (codeine and paracetomol) to control my arthritic pain, but it isn&#x27;t doing so great. at the end of the day, if you really need pain control, you probably want a pure opioid of some kind. and yes, i do know that codeine is an opioid.
