NSAIDS are a risk: Factor. I can't tell if you think you cannot be off them due to other health concerns. The locations discussed are very consistent with ulcers associated with nsaids. Not likely to be ulcers elsewhere based on what you have described.

Depends: One of the risks of nasids is ulcer formation in the stomach. To prevent it most gastroenterologist recommend taking a proton-pump inhibitor while taking the nsaid. If you need long term use of the NSAID then please see them for an evaluation. You could also have inflammation and ulceration of any portion of the GI tract, but much less likely.
