      It blows my mind how much people take OTC pain killers. I take one OTC pain pill maybe every three or four years (if even that).

      I’m not anti medicine by any means, but I just don’t get it. Either I experience a lot less pain than other people or other people can’t be mildly uncomfortable for a little while without immediately taking drugs (and not even fun drugs)

        It may be dependant on age.

        I used to never take analgesics, but as I got older I found myself taking more and more as my body tends to hurt more and more.

      I thought the main concern with ibuprofen was the stomach? Liver (and maybe kidneys?) is Tylenol. Maybe I’m wrong though and it’s both.
