[This is from the Chronic Pain Conference on Fidonet]

Injectable anti-inflammatories wouldn't completely eliminate the gastric
irritation problem; the main cause of the gastric irritation is the fact that
the chemical reactions that protect the stomach from digesting itself are VERY
similar to those that produce inflammation.  Suppressing the latter tends to
suppress the former.

Of course, some NSAIDS, most notably aspirin, also have a direct irritant
effect on the stomach lining.
