The reason I would not consider ibuprofen for my joint pain (no cartilage under the patella) is
1. With alternative things I don't have pain
2. The main problem is swelling, which the things I take deal with.
3. If it got bad, the pain would be continuous.That last one is important. I don't know if it is always like that, but it often must be, that the pain is continuous. It's not even a question of pain....it is about avoiding the build up of fluid that then tends to get infected.
