Ibuprofen does take the edge off the ribs and leave me feeling well-disposed towards the universe – or at very least capable of movement – but 800mg since teatime is probably a tad too much.
I’ll keep the fluids up and lay off it tomorrow.
Excellent programme on BBC4 tonight; a compilation of all of Stiff Records’ top artists performing at the BBC.
Madness, Tenpole-Tudor, Pogues and all…
In the first 6 months after my last car accident I was taking 3200 mg of ibuprofen per day to keep pain and inflamation down (along with a few tylenol 3 with codeine which seemed to have no effect at all.) The ibuprofen came in 800 mg tablets. My only advice is to eat plenty of food before taking one and drink a full glass of water.
Its been quite a few years since I have taken that much and it has had no adverse effect so far. Then again I was on Vioxx for a few years until they took it off the market and I seem okay from that too. I miss Vioxx 🙁
Ice also was helpful, I still use it now sometimes.
