Based on the information provided, I cannot confirm whether you have tried other pain relievers since stopping aspirin, as I don't have access to your personal medical history. However, I can provide general information about some common pain relievers that you may consider.

There are several over-the-counter and prescription pain relievers available, including acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), and naproxen (Aleve). These non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) work similarly to aspirin in relieving pain and reducing inflammation. However, they have different mechanisms of action and may be more suitable for certain individuals or conditions.

Acetaminophen is generally considered safer for people with stomach ulcers or bleeding issues, as it is less likely to cause gastrointestinal side effects than NSAIDs [1]. Ibuprofen and naproxen, on the other hand, may be more effective for inflammation-related pain, such as arthritis or muscle strains [2].

It is essential to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication, especially if you have pre-existing medical conditions or are currently taking other medications. This will help ensure that the chosen pain reliever is safe and effective for your specific situation.
