Suggest Dosage Of Aspirin For The Treatment Of Body Ache

How much aspirin is safe to take in one day for all over body aches and slight headache? No fever...just aches & pains that keep cycling around my body. Mostly in the hip joints, then to bottom of feet, hands, etc. Been taking one ibuprofen every 4 or 5 hours. No real difference....trying 2 aspirin now.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
hello,
i can understand your concern.
i would suggest not to indiscrimately use painkillers which have adverse effects like stomach ulcers, kidney and liver damage.
the usual dosage of aspirin is 325mg two to three times a day.
rather than aspirin i would suggest aceclofenac 200mg twice daily which be more effective.
i would suggest you to get xray pelvis and xray both hands ap and lateral views to check for arrgritic changes and then it can be treated accordingly.
along with these get a serum uric acid, ESR, RA factor and ANA test. Based on this specific medications can be taken.

hope i have answered your query. have a nice day
