What is the absolute risk of heart attack, kidney damage, or other issues? I always just see a general "increased risk" but no numbers. Or if there is a number it's the amount of increased risk, not the total risk for a generally healthy person.

If my starting risk for a heart attack is 1%, and NSAIDS increase that by 1%, then I really don't care since NSAIDS allow me to live a pain-free life. I'm always annoyed when doctors advise against using NSAIDS in general without taking these realities into account.
