Can Ibuprofen Be Taken While On Etodolac?

thank you. I have been taking etodolac for a couple of years now. first started taking 1, 400mg dose every 2 to 3 weeks and now because of AVN I need it every day just about. However, for the past 2 or so months since I ve needed to increase the daily dose because of more pain (hip) it has given me sideeffects that have become unbearable: itching, anxiousness, and gring my teeth. Wondering now as I wait for my VA doc to prescribe something different, can IU take Ibuprofen?
