Is It Safe To To Aspirin With Ibuprofen?

[EllieJP]

Just wondering if it's okay to take them together. Thanks

Morning Ellie,
Do you have any Paracetamol you can take instead of the aspirin? As you can alternate ibuprofen and paracetamol every 2 hrs if needed:

Hangover? lots of bananas and water :-)

Yes.......although I do not know why you would need to.......unless, you are taking prophylactic aspirin and not for pain.
In either event...no big deal.

It's basically to see if my arms feel any better with aspirin. I think I may have a circulation problem and if aspirin thins the blood it may help? As I'm currently taking the ibuprofen for the arm pains. Just want to see if it makes a difference :)

;-).........well if you are taking aspirin to "thin the blood" then you will only need a small dose e.g 75-100mgms in the morning.

I am not enthusiastic about your approach to the "arm pains" but good luck

My arm pains seem to be worse when I wake up in a morning.. As the day goes on it seems to get better and at night barely noticeable.. It has also started in my legs too now.. No idea what's going on with my body :( I had my blood tests on Friday so hopefully have some answers soon.. Just fed up of worrying constantly..
