But I used to take 800mg Motrin 4 times daily, I did so for maybe 20 years, now I do not. Ibuprofen is not good for you at that level over the long term, in fact that is now an illegal dosage for long term use.

Terry, Is this after you got married?

I can't quite match that pedigree but have had some pretty good injuries from the 10 seasons I spent logging here in Oregon. All I know about the stuff is that before I started taking it, I couldn't sleep thru the night because of knee pain, for several years. (all this after a major surgery to try and repair several things at once) If I stop for a period of time, the pain creeps back in and I start waking up in the middle of the night thinking "this sucks". I just returned from a 15 mile bicycle ride in below freezing weather and my knees are fine at the moment. I can't prove the stuff works but like you I've quit buying advil by the case.
