Is aspirin a possibility? Yes itâs a blood thinner, and can trigger gut issues, but it IS an effective painkiller. Not very fashionable atm though.
Paracetamol scares me - the gap between an effective dose and a dose that kills your kidneys is quite small.

old people talk
so instead of panadol for my hand arthritis, which gives me headaches and makes me itchy, iâm trying nurofen
or maybe I can just put up with the mild ache

check out celebrex. Itâs like ibuprofen but without the gut skinning

Nurofen is anti inflammatory and Panadol is only a painkiller, so it might work better anyway.

Maybe diclofenac?

Even though it doesnât contain dairy, paracetamol for some reason can be a cause of concern for those with dairy allergies. They are processed differently in the body, so it sort of doesnât make sense, but people be peopling and not fitting in boxes. Be careful of your gut with nurofen and other anti inflammatory meds. And they will affect your blood clotting with long term use.
