Two for the pain, two for the inflammation

Seems I figured out how to mediate my wrist/shoulder pain.

Instead of taking two ibuprofen, I take four.

Because two (a total of 400mg) are only good for dulling the pain. You need the extra 400mg (so that's 800mg total in one dose) to quell the inflammation, which is what's making them hurt in the first place.

I'm not really sure why I'm sharing this here, other than the fact that I feel like somebody should have told me a lot sooner.

Oh, and for the record, don't take more than 2400mg per day. Doctor's orders.

Science is awesome.
