    Well, to be fair Aspirin was a factor in nearly killing me, acetaminophen (Tylenol) now doesn’t work since i took that too often, and now im stuck with ibuprofen which may, again, cause a leak in my stomach that could kill me.

    Sooooooo… if you’re not taking this medication regularly, by all means, if not just a word of caution from an old, apparently hard to kill, bastard.

      Yeah, this seems like one of those things where people casually discussing the issue are talking about wildly different scales. I, to be clear, am talking about having a hangover or sleeping in a rough position and pinching my neck once in maybe two or three months and refusing to take an analgesic to get through it faster. I get the feeling that what you’re describing is either on a way different level or a rarer interaction or side effect.

      Which is why my other comment below still goes: if you need to deal with pain beyond sporadic usage to get through a one-off event, please go talk to a doctor and don’t listen to me or anybody else on the Internet.

        I also share the sentiment: you don’t get any medals or gold stars suffering in pain.

        I was just offering a word of caution for those unaware, as I was in my youth.
