I have early on-set arthritis in my lower back from some old injuries. Usually I don't notice it at all, as long as I do enough exercise I'm fine. But life got a little crazy over the last few months and the exercise fell off the radar and I'm in the middle of a flare-up.

I ice my lower back and take lots of ibuprofin. I'm not thrilled with taking so much ibuprofin, but it really works well. I'm looking for an alternative that would relieve the pain that isn't so tough on my stomach. I haven't found much with web searching.

Thanks!
