For cramps - occasionally (once a month for several days). For my knees, every day. Okay, I skimmed the article because jargon, but one of the things discussed is that ibuprofen interferes with testosterone production/expression, and everybody has some testosterone. The article was very specific about the tight focus of the research, so it is likely there are other effects. Given my knees and age, I'm willing to make the trade-off - but this may lead to ibuprofen becoming prescription only, which would be a pain in the hassle.

And maybe it is the lead makeup, mercury syphilis cure of the 21st C.

I would throw such a shitfit if they made ibuprofen Rx only, especially given how goddamn deadly tylenol is.
