That's why I use cannabis for pain relief.

i run into a problem there, half the time i get a headache from smoking, so i take aspirin to get rid of it.

I am trying to find more detailed results of that study, I wanna know how the painkillers cause the hearing loss.

I've heard that the butane from common lighters contributes to that effect.

What? I cant hear you? What'd you say?

One thing's for sure; I'm going to start using Alleve very sparingly. My hearing is my livelihood.

What's wrong with good old Aspirin? It's natural. Comes from willow bark.

Aspirin had the least likelihood to cause hearing loss compared to the other painkillers though.

I hope you guys don't mind me bumping this thread, but I'm really beginning to panic over this news. I take Naproxen for fairly severe and debilitating leg pains and inflammation on a semi-regular basis, but as a musician, I can't afford to lose my hearing.

Medical cannabis is an interesting prospect, and I'd be lying if I said the idea hadn't crossed my mind before, but it's not legal in this state and I don't want to do anything that might get my family in trouble.

Are there any other herbal remedies that could take the place of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like Aleve?

Don't be so paranoid

Then again, I don't take any kind of pills, ever.
