I feel like geriatricians have a, maybe it’s more of a hate/hate relationship with NSAIDs right now.

In many situations it might be a great choice.

There is a patient caregiver relationship that evolves over time, and there’s less of a focus on intimacy in that relationship. So most of us in primary care, it’s probably even worse. We have a lot of loss of libido, loss of physical intimacy as a result of the changing dynamic in the relationship.
