Inflammation And Pain On The Artificial Hip. Taking Ibuprofen. Medication Side Effect?

I am currently on IBUPROFEN 200mg x 2 three times a day for inflammation of the little sack on my artificial hip, as i have been experiencing a lot of pain in the hip. I have also now noticed that i am starting to get aching knees and wrists, which are both swollen. Is this a side effect of the above mentioned drug? I am also taking one x aspirin (100mg) per day perscribed by my GP. What are your suggestions please?

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

You have not stated your personal habits, family history, or co-morbidities, even age or gender...which could influence the diagnosis and outcome...
Why was the hip replacement done?
This could be a part of disease involving several joints, now showing symptoms in other areas...
You need examination by a Rheumatologist / very likely some investigations too...

Take care     
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
