It's what people take for their RSIs they get from working two jobs that wear their bodies down, and insurance won't pay for much if any physical therapy, which can't stop you from getting another injury anyway, and doctors hate prescribing other shit that works better because everyone's apparently an addict-in-waiting.

It's what people take for blazing headaches your doctor refuses to take seriously, or doesn't want to medicate. Or for other pain they can't find a reason for and thus verify, so they don't want to give you anything else that works.

It's what you take for the tooth pain until you either save the money for the dentist or it breaks enough to become an emergency which is SOMETIMES covered by medical insurance that doesn't otherwise offer dental.

It's what you take when you just feel like nonspecific shit, and it helps, either because placebo effect, or because the constant stress of living a shit life elevates your cortisol to batshit levels and ibuprofen brings the inflammation down just a bit. Or maybe it stops some sort of pain you're so used to you don't really notice it. You can't tell anymore.

But you can buy 1000 ibuprofen and it will last you and your partner over a year, which is a lot cheaper than any other remedy, and getting a shitton makes life easier because you aren't having to buy more every ten minutes.

Uhh IDK how to tell you this but Jesus Christ no, they aren't 10 mg, that's ANT PISS. I have a bottle of 200 mg by my bed and another huge bottle in the living room, and you take them two at a time if it's kinda-sorta bad (old tendon injury you couldn't afford to have fixed so it's fucked for the rest of your life is acting up and you need to bring the inflammation down so you can walk for six or eight hours) and four at a time if the doctor says so (day after surgery, major dental, or you need a hammer dose to knock some pain back before maintenance dosing) and we like it that way because we can hardly get other meds without dogfighting for it. Yeah, you only do this a couple or maybe three times a day for as short a stint as you can tolerate, but it's way more than 10 mg LMAO. That wouldn't help a cat scratch.

Like you don't wanna do this for a long time, but also, sometimes your physical therapy ran out and you don't have a choice until next year's six to ten appointments kick in.
