peri....no problem
Some 10%-50% of patients are unable to tolerate NSAID treatment because of side effects, including abdominal pain, diarrhea, and upset stomach. Approximately 15% of patients on long-term NSAID treatment develop ulceration of the stomach and duodenum
Major long term side affects are damage to the oesophagus (Gullet), stomach, and intestine and some 10-45% of patients cannot tolerate NSAIDS……”.horses for courses” as shaneystar mentioned.
Long term scientific studies have shown that 15% of patients will develop ulcers of the stomach and duodenum, some even being symptomless.
You have to decide whether or not the pain killing properties of NSAIDS is worth the “pay off” of the above complications
Check the Internet for my data as I have rounded the figures off.

I don't understand either peri . I played hockey at county level for Kent at school and for a few years after I left school .Does he require my CV ?
What's his problem ? Probably his ego .Or are us girls not allowed to chat about our ailments on here and have a joke unless we ask his permission .He doesn't like me because I criticised his bedside manner and it's any excuse to have a pop at me .If he can't take criticism hard cheese . The medical world on AB doesn't revolve around him and I'm entitled to my views ... and I'm in his 15% :)
Don't worry sqad, I am off never to darken your surgery again . I wouldn't ask for your opinion if I was on me deathbed . Though it would probably be,.... die, you old bat .
Take care peri xx

Yes, but ,you come across as not believing what I said This is what I mean about your bedside manner .I know it's difficult to put across what you want to say in text .* Right * typed like that to me means ....yeah right ....load of old squit .
Let's just agree to disagree .You carry on diagnosing and I'll go and polish my tiara and practice my Indian dribble :)

Sqad, a question just out of curiosity, if you dont mind?
When you give a very detailed answer such as the one you've given pericat, does all that information simply come from all your years of medical experience?
I find it amazing that one can have so much info buzzing around in their heads just waiting to be put down when somebody asks.
Hope you don't mind me asking..

yinyang.....LOL LOL....no it doesn't.
I have a basic knowledge about the subject, but it has to be "refreshed" from time to time because of changes in trends and treatment. I try to keep up as much as I can, but for various statistics I have to rely on reference books and of course the websites of various professional bodies...i.e the Lancet, BMJ and the New England Journal of Medicine.
I do not mind at all for your enquiry.

yinyang....I very rarely copy and paste, but read it first and then put it into language that most people would understand.......including myself.
If there is a topic e.g Geographical tongue, as happened yesterday, I usually ask them to Google it themselves.
It always amazes me that certain questions can easily be answered by Googling.

Thanx for the leggings, peri. Perhaps you need them back for the aches and pains, though. I confessed I only wanted them for the thrill, and I have plenty of long johns.
For as daffy warns the tablets can cause a lot of gastrointestinal damage if they are indeed NSAIDs, even to the massive haemorrhaging and cardiac mayhem that lottie mentions. And having had both I can honestly say that I found the naemorrhaging more horrendous than the heart attack. I am banned from taking any of them now, even aspirin, and although sqad's statistics are not that horrific, would be inclined to say quit while youre ahead. Steroids arent wonderful either. In my experience they either dont work at all or they exacerbate my diabetes.
And shaney, you do realize that Pferdesalbe means 'horse ointment', dont you?
Er, peri... I have another confession I have to unburden myself of before either the textbookful of pathologies or the pharmacopoeiaful of meds finally get to me. When I learnt that my grandma's fingers were always getting stuck, and I had quite a job unsticking them even by massaage, I wickedly made use of this knowledge to fake this phenomenon in handwriting classes (yes, we had them! - did you?) and even let the Art Master massage the locked (by me) finger. In alkl innocence of course, perhaps even on his part!
Anyway my grandma's finger never stayed like that, and she lived to 94. That long enough for you?
