I love my thirties. One part of me is always hurting, and I just have to trust the ibuprofen to bounce around my body like a game of pong hoping it finds its target

30s are easy peasy. Like a laid back, smarter 20s. 40 up things start to ache one morning for no reason.... Still waiting for it to stop. I still look cool though. ( I also try not to look in mirror too much though. ) 😎 🩳+🧦+

suspiciously old reference for someone in their 30s (he says, immediately dating himself)

As you could guess, getting to your 40s is more of the same, but hurts more which is the neat part.

I’ve found that the real power is in 2 ibuprofen + 1 acetaminophen. Covers all the bases and seems to work faster. Or I tell myself it does? I dunno, but I at least forget I’m in pain faster when I double up.

As a 61 year old with congenital cardiac and orthopedic issues, my best advice is, stay active. I’m glad I did and still remain so. I’d be in far worse shape if I hadn’t. If you keep moving despite the pain, you’ll be thankful for that decision when you’re older. And you’ll enjoy those years.

🤣 At 65, it's more like whack-a-mole. But I can identify.

Same same, but I prefer naproxen, and I’m down to the last six weeks before my 40s so I foresee *great things* on the horizon.

But in all seriousness, it just goes throughout your whole body to reduce inflammation which helps with the pain, we just only notice it in the places we already had pain. Opioids work differently though and go to your opioid receptors in your brain to block them from transmitting the pain signal

Okay that’s interesting, thanks for sharing!

It doesn’t per se, it inhibits a chemical class named prostaglandins, which are what signals inflammation, so inhibiting them also inhibits inflammation.

You know how your best friend the roomba bumps into stuff and then rotates a little bit and tries again? Imagine that the roomba hurts the floor. If you break the button that senses that it ran into something, he’ll just keep hitting the wall and most of the floor won’t get hurt.

Make sure you manage your stress well. If you get IBS your stomach won’t be able to handle ibuprofen anymore. All Tylenol all the time.
