Pain killers & BPH

Don't go by me, but I take naproxyn (Aleve) for relief from prostate pain.  Mind you, I have to be in a lot of pain, before I'll take one (and ONLY one), but it does seem to work ... for ME.  Who can say for sure?  For the next guy, using the same strategy may work against him.  Just a note of caution, my friend - with Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS - which is what you've described in your post), you may be increasing the risk for GI bleeding, which you won't be able to perceive.  If indeed you are bleeding somewhere in the GI tract, then it will be evidenced by the elimination of either dark, tarry stools, or stools that looks like coffee grinds.  Just be careful.  The one exception to this is acetaminophen.  It doesn't cause GI bleeding, which is why it's the analgesic of choice in a clinical setting.  However, with prolonged use of acetaminophen, one risks liver toxicity.  No advice for you - except to say - that if you ARE going to try, say, aspiring therapy for relief of BPH pain, then start off gradually, and maybe run the idea past your healthcare professional.  Hope this helps.
