  Good article on ibuprofen, not as benign as everyone thinks, the body can heal most things if you let it and can be patient. Also for marathoners and triathloners a few cases of renal failure per year are seen with prophylactic motrin. It's not worth the kidney, stomach, or liver damage.

  Following the completion of a ridiculous trail race my 4 running mates were scrambling to find the nearest DRUGSTORE to buy some ibuprofen. All of them were shocked when I mentioned that I never take the stuff (even though I've told them countless times). I said to them "your sore, (ice it, roll it, stretch it) it will go away". Of course no one listened. The email chain in the days that followed were all about the pain and how sore everyone was. I told them that I felt no pain and was not sore and to a large extent this was true. I was just feeling like I should have and could smile as it reminded me of another awesome race. I avoid all meds unless my doc gives me no choice. BTW my doc has never told me to take ibuprofen.
