Another side effect of continual ibuprofen use is it interferes with the healing process. I have chronic neck/back pain (had some surgery over ten years ago) and was taking ibuprofen every day, my doc even prescribed some 800mg pills. Overtime I had noticed that small cuts on my hands and body took a long time to heal. I went to a lecture by a scientist who was researching the biology behind aging. She happened to mention that ibuprofen interferes with the healing process if taken long term. I quit taking it and now small cuts heal normally.
