Long term use is hard on the heart, kidneys, stomach & intestines but I can't find what dosage/time period qualifies as long term use. Best to talk to a doctor about it.

He should definitely go to a doctor or PT first and get some advice, if the doctor considers taking them long term then at least it is known and on your medical records.
In regards to taking them, NSAIDs are known to cause gastrointestinal upset and ulcers, if he does continue to take them then make sure he has food with or just after taken them to reduce stomach upset.

My father-in-law has stage 2 kidney disease from years of NSAIDs to deal with knee pain. I'd limit the long-term use for this reason and many others.
