Almost everyday. I use Aleve, but will take an Oxy if the pain gets out of hand.

Goody's headache powder. That shite works crazy fast and will knock out most any pain. Was taking almost daily but was worried about screwing up my stomach or liver, so I got off them. Now I just suck it up, but thankfully most of my pains have stopped after getting off. Probably due to eating better.

I take a 500mg Tylenol 4-5 mornings a week and am wondering if this is bad for me long term, hence the question on how often others take them.

Maybe once every other week, and only a normal or low dosage. I'd rather deal with anything than take too much medicine

Had a root canal yesterday and didn't take any. I usually don't. I'll take a few fish oil and lay down if my head hurts.

Ibuprofin is great for hangovers, and yet apparently awful for you to take after you've been drinking.

It is truly a paradox.

I avoid all due to potential kidney issues.

It is my understanding that Aleve (or generic equivalent) is better for soft tissue inflammation issues.

Ibuprofen is the remedy for headaches, fever-related stuff.

I don't get sick much, except my dance floor and bedroom moves.

I take ibprofen OR aleve rx strengh doses for muscle aches when I over exert (moving this past weekend for example)

Not very often. I have a plate and screws in my clavicle and sometimes if I lift too much or bend my shoulder the wrong way it will cause a good bit of pain and T'll take aleve for that. Got off the narcotics about a year ago now.

Aleve maybe once every month or two if I had too much fun and my head hurts.

Regular aches and pains are just part of exercising hard at times. Those, I just let ride.
