A member asked:

Can taking aspirin for back pain lead to a brain bleed if i've had one before?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Maybe: Aspirin causes platelet dysfunction and may lead to brain bleed but mostly in some type of trauma.

Dr Vallury and another doctor agreed

Not likely: In medicine anything can happen but it is more likely going to be a stomach bleed or prevent you from having a stroke. The balance is in favor of taking the correct doctor recommended dose.
