Try it: if there is no anatomical reason for this~ I see you listed in your history that your docs said work up was "fine" then try aspirin. I see you are already on advil (ibuprofen) and naproxen. Do Not take aspirin if you are still on these. Read the dosage clearly listed on the aspirin container. Hope pain gets better.

Probably not needed: You can take aspirin at 81 mg a day, but given that you are 25, this is probably not needed and could lead to easy bruising. Seems like I answered your other question, which seems related to this one. Both of these would be better answered with an established primary care physician (PCP). Also, since you're already on NSAIDs (Advil), better to not start aspirin without PCP recommendations.
