You might want to try one of the newer NSAIDs, i.e. the COX inhibitors, such as Bextra, Celebrex or Vioxx. They were developed to avoid the gastrointestinal problems of the earlier NSAIDs, although they still cause them. They are reported to cause less major bleeding episodes, IIRC.

The cost is the factor on these. I have not tried them, but frankly it is all I can do to afford the drugs that I get.
