Aspirin

Anyone got any thoughts on aspirin for long term pain.

I know this sounds a bit 'old-hat' but I have a 78 year old patient who is keen to use aspirin (and I tend to think she will do so whether we OK it or not)

So I'm looking for a basic regieme for mild/moderate pain (leg ulcer pain)

If I didn't feel the need to include the aspirin I would put her on paracetamol/codeine, and low dose amitriptyline.

Any thoughts (paracetamol codeine and aspirin? drop the paracetamol? etc)

Sorry to ask - but I've no experience of aspirin in pain management at all!
