- Alex3917 9y agoHave a source on that? When I was in college I had some bad inflammatory issues to the point where I couldn't even walk, but it only took 200mg once or twice a week to completely fix the issue. When I didn't take any at all it would get worse and worse until I couldn't even stand up, but as soon I took it I was completely fine in 20 min or so.

- aroman 9y agoHere is a study[0] which directly contradicts that claim: "Thus, the higher dose of ibuprofen (2400 mg per day) was not superior to either the dose of acetaminophen (4000 mg per day) or the lower dose of ibuprofen (1200 mg per day) for pain relief or improvement of function." http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM199107113250203#t=article http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM199107113250203#t=a...
