Anyone work through PAIN??

[Alex Cross]

Hey guys!

Thanks for the info.. It was reassuring the know others go through this same stuff. I get so scared everytime i feel a twitch of pain, and I lay off and get all depressed and worried that I'm gonna be out forever! I guess I'd better quit bein a pussy and get my ass back in the gym!!!

endpoint, when I was in the military, the doc put something on my back that felt like he dumped gasoline and tossed a matched on it. I'd love to find that stuff.

I've been taking ibuprofen for a while now, and it helps A LOT. I think it helps pain more than vicodin, and doesn't fuck with your head like the vics do. I worry about the effects it has on your stomach though. My nurse friend says a lot of people come in the hospital for stomach ulcers and other stomach problems related to ibuprofen almost as often as liver problems due to acetametaphin use. Thats why I get worried for b-fold when he says how much ibu he uses regularly.

Ibuprofen reduces inflamation as well as being a painkiller. My tkd coach used to recommend it for muscle strains.

Not sure where I got this from, but its nice and brief

Both the benefits and drawbacks of NSAIDs stem from the fact that they act on an enzyme, known as cyclooxygenase (COX), that is an important mediator of inflammation. There are two types of COX: COX1 and COX2. Ibuprofen and most other NSAIDs block both types. COX2 is found in areas of inflammation, so inhibiting this enzyme leads to pain relief. COX1 is found in the gastrointestinal tract and serves to maintain the normal lining of the stomach and intestine. Thus, blocking COX1 can lead to ulcers.

After only three months of regular NSAID use, up to 20 percent of people develop ulcers in the stomach and 10 percent develop ulcers in the duodenum. Complicated ulcers (resulting in bleeding, perforation or obstruction) occur in up to 4 percent of patients on NSAIDs for one year. In contrast to ulcers caused by other factors, NSAID-related ulcers are often "silent": The patient experiences no pain or other warning signs until after a serious complication occurs. It's been theorized that this may be related to the pain-relieving power of the NSAIDS themselves.

i have a few ibuprofin in me as i type this. always helps me move around until bedtime on a day where i aggravate my back. speaking of today, i started doing squats today. my back held up ok, no pain at all, but definately some tightness and weakness. HOWEVER, i might've pulled both my groins doing squats then lunges. i always do that.
