        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

      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

      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.
