Maximum dose of Ibuprofen daily

Wrong. Ibuprofen is terrible for the stomach and can lead to bleeding and ulcers. You can give yourself permanent GI damage on it. Ibuprofen is not an issue for the liver though.

Acetaminophen is terrible for the liver.

For adults that are mainly healthy (see exceptions below), taking around 800 mg of aspirin(http://www.rx-discountcoupons.com/pharmacies/rx-trust-com/) four times each day is regarded as the safe upper limit and is not likely to result in an illness or severe complications. That isn't to mention that this dose will not result in any harm whatsoever or add strain to organs like your liver or kidneys, however, it is not so probable that it will let you wind up in the clinic with symptoms of poisoning. That is still regarded as a relatively higher dose and should not be the standard. Rather, this is the most you need to take when symptoms are extremely uncomfortable.

I take 1200 mg after every hard workout, it works wonders

It may work wonders for reducing pain & inflammation, but chronic use impedes the healing process:

"In summary, our review of the literature doesn’t allow us to draw conclusions about the formal interest of taking NSAIDs "

Nice.

Yes, don't take too much ibuprofen. You can take acetaminophen with ibuprofen. Acetaminophen is probably the best pain medication without a prescription. It is not terrible for the liver if not overdosed.

Aspirin has the same risks as ibuprofen to your GI tract. Don't take them at the same time. What I have heard, Aspirin is not a very good medication for pain.

Yeah...real nice - you left out the rest of the paragraph and the conclusion:

? "In summary, our review of the literature doesn’t allow us to draw conclusions about the formal interest of taking NSAIDs for acute muscle injuries, except perhaps to prevent apparition of DOMS after eccentric exercise or to prevent heterotopic ossification after deep muscles contusions. On the contrary, such action could be counter-productive, inhibiting prostaglandin formation as well as protein synthesis."

1.5. Conclusion ?

"In sports medicine, especially for acute or chronic injuries of the musculoskeletal system, high-quality studies on the use of NSAIDs are still rare. Yet, using NSAIDs or analgesics to treat many sports injuries is a common practice among athletes. The systematic prescription of NSAIDs is certainly still too frequent. Their administration should respond to precise criteria. It seems obvious that sports medicine specialists should think about the fundamental problems involved."

"In addition, NSAIDs are far from being without harmful consequences for musculoskeletal tissue repair and organic systems (e.g., digestive tract, kidneys). Can we justify masking the painful symptoms of athletes to allow them the shortest possible time away from their sport, perhaps at the detriment of their tissue healing in the medium term and their functional recuperation in the long term."

"A reasonable use of these substances seems to be necessary. However, although the prescription of NSAIDs is justified in certain cases, it should always be the minimal effective dose and the shortest possible length of administration. Table 2 presents a summary of our conclusions based on our non-exhaustive review of the literature."

You CAN take up to 3,000mg/ day in cases of real pain, in place of real pain management medication. But most say around 2,400mg/day is safer especially for M/S injuries that are not super serious (i.e dislocation/ broken bone). If you need to take around 3,000mg a day probably shouldn't be running, and you should go talk to the doctor.

Also in a very serious pain you should be using real pain medications and not this over-the-counter stuff that also has serious side effects.

And real pain meds don't have side effects and addiction risk? ?

Yes, they are a risk for people who start taking them even if there is no pain.

For more decent people in serious pain those over-the-counter drugs can be hazardous. :)
