Not to alarm you, but ibuprofen, like any other nsaid, increases the risk of stroke and heart related issues from as soon as the first week of taking it.
Cannabinoids are known to be anti inflammatory, have you tried that?
Nah, that’s why the doc won’t prescribe anything similar to it.

No worries at all :)
