For Osteoarthritis "Aspirin is the only drug that really helps my hip and knee pain. I have had OxyContin, Panadeine Forte, and Panadol. I got nausea, dizzy spells, tiredness, and even the heavy drug didn't help as much as aspirin. Everyone is different, but for me, I get the best relief from aspirin. I take two 300 mg tablets 3 times a day, always on a full stomach, and I crush them in raw honey (hopefully supposing that would be easier on the stomach). The anti-inflammatory properties, which Panadol doesn't have, help me. I worry about the bleeding effect and am still researching it, but so far, there are no signs of that. I do take a break from them every once in a while."

Aspirin for Pain "I liked it at first until I started seeing bruising on different parts of my body, like on my arm. I will discontinue use for it to stop. Not 100% sure this caused it, but when I started meds, that's when I saw it. Anyone else notice this?"

For Pain/Fever "When pain is like an acute headache, like fever, the drug can be administered through the oral route. On dissolving in a small amount of water, swallow it. It is a class of non-selective COX inhibitor."

For Back Pain "Aspirin is much better than Advil, Aleve for back pain and pain in joints. It's cheap and effective. The biggest disadvantage for aspirin is gastrointestinal disturbances."
