How bad is it to take NSAIDS on an empty stomach? I know that you're supposed to take them with meals, but is this an "otherwise you risk nausea" kind of thing or an "otherwise the damage to your kidneys is way higher" kind of thing? The context is that I sometimes have joint/hip/back pain flare up in the middle of the night, when I don't particularly want to have to go eat a snack to go with my pills. On a related note, as far as I can tell there's no "small questions thread" for The Goon Doctor?

Kaiser Schnitzel posted:I'm a standard-issue goon with bad, very head-forward posture. Aside from 'quit phone posting' and 'remind yourself to stand/sit up straight all the time' are there any fix your posture lifehacks physical therapists hate I should know about? This is by no means going to be comprehensive a post but should hopefully get you on the right track. There are two main things going on with this. One a bunch of muscles around the spine are going to be tight and two a bunch are going to be weak. For the tightness foam rolling - or even better, using a peanut - to stretch them out is a good start. For the muscle side of things you want to slide past anyone that says pullups / rows to strengthen your back is good as those big muscles fatigue really easily. You don't want to have to rely on that to keep you upright as it won't work long term. One simple thing you can do is foam roll / peanut for a while then sit against a wall with your hips / lower back flush against the wall and then try get your head back to the wall without tilting it back. So you're aiming to push your chin back and sit up taller rather than just looking up. Sit there holding that for as long as you can - we're talking 5m+. This should help get the body used to using the correct muscles to hold you upright. Also, stop doing crunch exercises. Tight core muscles will pull you into the rounded neck position again. Do things like planks or pallof presses for your core work. Maybe throw in some yoga style updog / downdog stretches into your day. This is known as hindu pushups if you're not sure what I mean there. Here's a couple of videos that explain a bit about what is going on and give you some other exercises. I've only just skimmed through them but they seem pretty decent and cover stuff other than the little bit I talked about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLOryGxlssI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POARdLtqQXA

Ibuprofen, at least, can be hard on the stomach lining (thus take with food) but something like a normal dose once a night isn’t going to be a problem if you don’t already have stomach problems.

NEVER take NSAIDS! its extremely damaging to your organs, regardless of what doctors say! There's always some new study that comes out with nothing positive to say. (stick with tylenol)

Different painkillers are bad for different parts of your body, and you should be aware of your own personal complications and risk factors. People with kidney issues shouldn't take NSAIDS and people with liver issues shouldn't take Tylenol. Nobody should be overusing or abusing them in general and it's usually a good idea to follow the instructions for any medication you take. Random people on the internet can't give you better advice than your doctor, and habitual use of painkillers doesn't come without risk and it's usually better to be safe than sorry.

One of the big recent discoveries of my life was learning to ask the pharmacist literally any drug question (or minor ailment you don't want to go to the doctor for). They are super knowledgeable and in my experience very helpful. They are a great (and free!) source for good basic healthcare info imo.

Ibuprofen can be irritating to your stomach lining if taken without food. For some people this can cause nausea, heartburn, or generalized upset stomach. If you take NSAIDs on a regular basis, like more than once or twice a day, you are at higher risk of getting GI issues. People who take lots of NSAIDS for days on end are at risk for developing a stomach ulcer or kidney damage. If you’re only taking it once in a while and your kidneys and stomach are otherwise healthy, you are at pretty low risk for anything going wrong. You could always keep some crackers or something by your bedside if you’re really worried. Tylenol is perfectly safe when only taken as needed for people without liver issues. The reason people overdose on Tylenol so much is because they 1. Don’t know there’s a limit to how many grams you should take each day, and/or 2. Tylenol is put in so many things, like cold medicine, sleep pills, prescription painkillers like Norco, allergy medicine, etc. People can unintentionally take way too much Tylenol if they don’t realize they’re doubling up. Most of the unintentional Tylenol overdoses I’ve seen have been people who got some kind of injury, couldn’t get a stronger pain pill prescription for one reason or another, and just popped OTC pain pills until their body started to tell them something was seriously wrong.

Tylenol’s “therapeutic index”, the ratio of the dose where it gently caress your body up to the dose where it does its job, is very low and it would never be approved as an over‐the‐counter product if it were released today.

 The joke is that, of course, I don't really have a choice here because I'm one of the lucky people to have debilitating menstrual cramps every month and if I don't take a painkiller I get to feel like a rusty spoon is in my guts. Yes, I've spoken to my doctors about this over the years, yes I'm fine, can covid please end already I'm actually in a position where I'm willing to just snip my tubes or something if it were safe to do so.

My friend with real bad menstrual cramps says that CBD tea, muscle relaxers, and having sex all work to help with them a lot. Scarodactyl posted:There is also the troubling correlation between tylenol usage in pregnant women/kids and autism rates which some studies have been seeing. Aspirin is also an NSAID and can hurt your guts if used incorrectly. It can help keep you alive during a heart attack though if you chew it while it's happening. If everyone is looking for a medication with no chance of hurting you no matter how you use it you need to be looking something fake like homeopathy or traditional Chinese medicine or whatever. Real medicine can hurt you because it has real effects on your body, it's up to you to use it responsibly.

Aspirin does nothing for me. Ibuprofen works, but I have to take something approaching the maximum dose. Paracetamol/acetaminophen works well for me.Mafic Rhyolite posted:If everyone is looking for a medication with no chance of hurting you no matter how you use it you need to be looking something fake like homeopathy or traditional Chinese medicine or whatever. Real medicine can hurt you because it has real effects on your body, it's up to you to use it responsibly. This is one of the giveaways of fake medicine. It claims to simply fix the problem, often many problems. Real medicine isn’t like that. This pill might help you if you have high blood pressure, but it can be a danger to you if you have low blood pressure, or if you’re taking another medication, or if you have a family history of certain events.

Does weed help with your cramps? Could take a low dose edible. And honestly don't worry too much, both tylenol and ibeprofun are quite safe if used as directed, especially if it's only a few days a month. Don't exceed dosages (especially of Tylenol), and you'll know if the advil upsets your stomach when empty. The whole "tylenol wouldn't be approved today" thing is true but only because it's very dangerous to take 2 or 3 times the max dose. Don't do that and it's safe.

Does anyone know why Wikipedia tends to have terrible photos of people on their articles now? For example: the photo of the owner of Red Bull is a painting collage?! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dietrich_Mateschitz And a lot of celebrities are clearly bad photos taken at Comicon panels.
