I haven't taken it yet (the ibuprofen).
but if it makes my back feel better... woo I'll be happy
The thing I worry about with pills though is not knowing (via pain) if I am sitting in some messed up position that is causing more damage... because the pain will be dulled.
What I really need to do is join a gym & start swimming though.
About 3 years ago (when I first starting having all these problems) I got mono or something... some bug that stuck with me full force for like over a month, then I never really came back to full health from there.
But when I first got sick I lost about 30lbs..... mostly muscle , so muscle tone in my back is like non-existent now. I think that is probably causing a lot of problems as well.
