"It's my favorite NSAID. It helps with muscle pain more than others. Excellent for dental pain! It's too hard on my intestines (as it is warned in many places). I only take it when it's prescribed to me or if I sprain my wrist or ankle badly. Other than that, I don't touch it. I have some intestinal issues. NSAIDs cause inflammation in the intestines, and it does not relieve the pain for me. It doesn't matter what kind. I can use 'methyl salicylate' topically, which is what I usually do for sprains or other muscle pain. For the rare fever, I use a different NSAID. I still prefer ibuprofen over the other OTCs. It is more effective for me."
