[QUOTE="nephron, post: 154342, member: 23759"] Reeko, it's a long story, but Ibuprofen is far enough away from Aspirin & refined just enough to inhibit cyclooxygenase without affecting platelet function. Shouldn't have any significant effect on bleeding time. The bleeding risk is primarily GI (gastrointestinal)--but the mechanism is not related to "blood thinning" (like aspirin can) per se, but has to do with its inhibition of gastric goblet mucous production (the protective layer of the stomach). Ibuprofen can cause serious ulcers, renal failure and death :scream: , but this is primarily in the elderly. Young folks shouldn't have any problem with it. On the other hand, your easy bruising is concerning. I would particularly be concerned about your platelet function/number and see that you get a CBC (complete blood count) to rule out causes of low platelets or other coagulopathies. I don't want to scare you, and mind you it's PROBABLY NOTHING, but this is how "Leukemias" present. It's cheap and easy to get a CBC and a set of coags. Take this thread to your doc. He may or may not agree, and granted I haven't seen you, but your story is good enough to be concerned. Don't worry about it. Just get it done. :) [/QUOTE]
