      It blows my mind how much people take OTC pain killers. I take one OTC pain pill maybe every three or four years (if even that).

      I’m not anti medicine by any means, but I just don’t get it. Either I experience a lot less pain than other people or other people can’t be mildly uncomfortable for a little while without immediately taking drugs (and not even fun drugs)

      I thought the main concern with ibuprofen was the stomach? Liver (and maybe kidneys?) is Tylenol. Maybe I’m wrong though and it’s both.

        It is terrible for your stomach if you take it on an empty stomach. It also doesn’t work as well. You need to eat something when taking it. Helps it get absorbed better and decreases the risk of an ulcer.
