Me again..need opinions about NSAID's and UC/Pancolitis...

I think I am pretty much in remission...I have a new problem:

I have pleurisy..I saw the GP for this and she wanted to prescribe an NSAID. It is my understanding that they are contraindicated with UC because it can induce flares...

I am not hurting too bad from the pleurisy, but now I have this awful headache and acetomephine is not helping...

Is it a really big chance that the NSAID will cause a flare? Would you take them.  These are heavy duty ones for a full 10 days...I do see the GI tomarrow so I will be asking him as well, but I wanted some opinions before I saw him..

My GP felt that my GI dr should referm me to a Reumetoligist (sp?) so I would have someone to better treat the extraneous problems with UC.  Is this common? I never know which Dr to call when I have problems..

Just as Sherry indicated above use them for very limited periods...I'd try to stay away from anything that can make us bleed. If you must take them try taking a low dose first and see if that helps. Feel better.

I haven't taken any nsaids yet. When I mentioned to her that I was told to stay away from NSAIDs, she said we'd wait to see what the GI says tomarrow.

I did some searches and found alot that indicates the med she wanted to give me isn't good for IBD and has some serious side effects. I also found information that this could be a side effect of the asacol...

In the end I started crying because I don't want to go back on steroids again. I just finally started feeling normal from the last round and have actually got rid of the roundness as well.

I do wonder if it is the 5asa but I just don't know what to take next.

I can't even take an Advil without bleeding, but my son (also pancolitis) can take two if he has bad pain, with no ill effects. We're all different.
When I fell on the ice last winter and developed a horrible bursitis in the hip after, my GI wouldn't let me take Nsaids at all - just Percocet.
