Please dont take pain meds for minor pains
Edit: thank you for correcting me, i looked up stuff yall said and it turns out to be true and I was wrong.
You’re not gonna get addicted to ibuprofen and risks to your kidneys or stomach lining are only worth consideration for regular long term use (2+ weeks of daily use) or for those with contraindicating health issues. Take the ibuprofen. This IS medical advice
Please don’t disguise fear mongering as medical advice
I only take it when I feel a migraine coming on, which is far from minor, but you’re right
i mean it depends on what is meant by minor pain: hit your head on a cupboard? yeah just wait 10 minutes and you’ll forget about it.
stomach ache that’s been persistent for half an hour and is making it annoying to do anything? just pop a pill so you can go about your life, it’s fine.Why not?
That’s literally what ibuprofen and Tylenol are for though
You know what
now I’m really convinced that a nurse swapped out fentanyl for saline after my surgery a couple years ago.
It hurt way too fucking much that I thought that ibuprofen would be more effective. “gave him the max dose” my ass
