    It’s people like this who make other people think any amount of painkillers is bad, and seem to get a sense of superiority about them for never taking any.

      Even a little acetaminophen makes my liver feel funny the next day. Ibuprofen actually works for pain relief for me (migraines mostly) but it can cause stomach ulcers. Painkillers are definitely not something you can just use without thinking, and daily use especially can fuck your body up, ibuprofen is also hard on your kidneys.

      Take the minimum effective dose as infrequently as possible.

        did you ever check your liver? that doesnt sound normal. with a small dose.

        nsaids can cause bleeding and ulcers if itsa high dose. its because it inhibits cox 1 and 2, for clotting, and it works on your stomach by turning off inflammation, so your stomach can combat the acid with more mucus and cell turnover(inflammation increases cell turnover), thats why h pylori is a thing.
