A Chuck Mangione concert was my first date with my first DH back in 1972. Me old.

Timelies all!
RIP Mr. Lehrer.
I spent a good part of yesterday in urgent care, since my knee was still hurting a lot. The urgent care I went to in the morning gave me a knee brace and a prescription for extra-extra strength ibuprofen. They also told me to go to a different one to get an X-ray, since they were not doing them that day. After lunch I went to get an X-ray, which didn't show anything. I was told that if it was still hurting in a week, I should go to an orthopedist.

I had not quite made that connection on my own, but now that you mention it that is fun to imagine

Tom Lehrer’s music was formative for me. RIP.

What is extra extra strength ibuprofen?? Is it just 800 mg that you take on of every 8 hours?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Probably. That's the prescription dose, not to exceed 2400 in 24 hours.

The prescription I got is 600 mg, with confusing instructions. First part says take 3 times a day for 5 days, but the rest says something else.I'll take one at bed time and one in the morning and see how it goes.

The general rule is 200 mg Ibuprofen per every 2 hours (anything less than 600 mg per dose is pretty pointless, ime). I don’t understand the point of prescription ibuprofen. Maybe just taking fewer pills at a time?

Ibuprofen is my medical area of expertise lol

I think the point is that it's in an 800mg pill, rather than having to take four at a time. But then Sheryl's pill is 600, so who knows.
