You exercising RNYers...Do you sneak in a Ibuprofen when you've pulled or strained a...
Just curious...We have heard the horror stories and the no nos from our doctors. This is what I will do sometimes. If my muscle is pulled, strained, or sprained bad I will take 1 Ibuprofen per day. I do take a daily baby aspirin for my heart anyways. I don't want to go hog wild with NSAIDS and only take them when it is real bad. Otherwise I just live with the pain. The funny thing is I can never feel my old stomach...Except when I take an Ibuprofen. Then I can feel it somewhat with the small irritation it give me there. What about you? 
I survive on ice, heat, muscle relaxers (rare) and tylenol as needed.
During hospital stays I have received IV Toradol from my surgeon, but otherwise I have not taken any NSAIDs. I dream about them though!

Nope, am too afraid of ulcers. Everyone I've talked to that's taken them got really horrifically painful ulcers and I would like to not go thought all that!
Good Luck!
Good Luck!

I don't even have RnY and I won't take them unless the PAIN gets to be so bad I can't concentrate. That's because they interfere with your fitness gains. I figure there is no way I will work this hard to get in shape and then lessen the outcome unless I absolutely can't help it.

Nope. I do suffer from ulcers post-op so I avoid all forms of NSAIDs. Even when I was messed up from my fall and had pulled muscles in my chest. I simply took some time off and lived on Lortab.

No NSAIDS here... I have taken 1/3 Vicodin when the pain was unbearable, but never an NSAID...

My primary told me that Celebrex even though an NSAID is formulted in a way that it does not cause the GI issues that others do. I haven't researched this yet so I am totally unsure about it.
