Sad, but true. As we age, we experience more aches and pains. Many of them can bet treated fairly easily with over-the-counter pain medications. The 4 most common are Aspirin, Ibuprofen. Naproxen and Acetaminophen.

All are effective for headaches, muscle pains, toothaches and backaches. However, there are some conditions for which you should avoid using one or more of these choices:

DON’T use Aspirin: Wounds, bruises or nerve pain. Also, you should never use Aspirin if you’re on blood thinners or run the risk of excessive bleeding.

DON’T use Ibuprofen or Naproxen: Nerve pain.

DON’T use Acetaminophen: Nerve pain or inflammatory conditions (like Arthritis).
