I believe a recent study has also shown that large or extended doses of ibuprophen can reduce body cartilage (promoting arthritis).

And unfortunately, some are saying that asprin can reduce the body's ability to clot blood quickly, which can promote retinal/macular problems when a little bleeding can turn into more than a little. (Maybe good for preventing strokes, maybe not so good for eyes.) I suppose this may have ramifications for some pre-menopausal ladies, too.

Platelet aggregation is irreversibly inhibited by aspirin.

The link in comment# 9 should have been addressed to you also.

I'm not menopausal or post meno but I'm still concerned. I've had problems (ongoing) with low blood iron (runs in the family) so I just stuck with the motrin after I was feeling better from the accident, several years now. I guess it's back to aspirin. For now.
