Very sorry to learn of your complication. You now know the prime risk in taking NSAIDs, a gastrointestinal bleed. The surgeons and GI folks know more about that than I do, but I do know that longterm NSAID use is hard on the digestive system, and the kidneys. Virtually everything carries a risk, and no meds work in a vacuum; your doc should be able to explain the risk/benefit ratio for the meds you take. Lets hope you get some things addressed, like the A-fib for starters. You will likely be best served by sticking pretty close to a doc that you like and trust. My guess is that you will need follow-up care after your hospital stay. I wish you the best of luck with your back issues as well.
