everyone is wearing them!

Oh it is just the latest rage! My new "buddy", as seen here in black.
But at least it reminds people (esp children ) not to go near that arm.

Stylish.

Be careful, ibuprofen taken without food can do evil things to the lining of your stomach. But it is such a good friend when taken with food - so good at taking down inflammationa nd swelling.

I hope your arm starts getting better soon.

How pretty. Mine is just the makeshift bought-it-at-CVS kind. I haven't actually been to the doctor yet, but I can't even tolerate having my arm at my side, and I have a rather persistent fiance, so...

Fun, fun!

Ibuprofen, on an empty stomach and at frequent or high dosages over a period of time, can cause upset stomach or nausea and even worse, bleeding or ulceration to the gastrointestinal tract.

But just the occassional dose for a headache or minor pain doesn't bother a person - and if you are taking frequent doses such as 3xdaily for a period of time...just have a snack or glass of milk when you take it and problem solved.

thank you!
I made sure after reading it to have milk with it... I noticed the instructions "to take with food" from the app't, but didn't ask why.
