Naproxen is my favorite, also.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I had prescriptions for Percocet and Ibuprofen after my back surgery. After the first week or so, I'd take one Percocet first thing in the morning (to get through the day) and one last thing at night (to help me sleep), with Ibuprofen as needed during the day. I found it a good balance between management of mild pain and concerns about addiction. (Obviously, your pain may vary.)

I find naproxen only slightly more effective than Tylenol. Oh, how I miss being able to tolerate ibuprofen; it gives me massive feedback headaches now.

Naproxen is my go to for the long-lastingness, but for breakout pain that that doesn't touch, I find Tylenol more immediately effective. Once I remember that there are things you can take for pain, which usually takes me a while.

Lies! They are evil placebos!
Seriously, I think it's interesting how different people respond to different meds. I find that shit fascinating.

I generally take Naproxen for pain of all types because I have it handy to ward off incoming migraines. Never touch Tylenol these days because it doesn't help avert them, only numbs the pain a bit once they hit (and if I'm going to slowly kill my liver, it's at least going to be with something that leaves me migraine-free).
My doctor told me to take Ibuprofen for tendon and joint pain, but it never seems to occur to me that I can actually do that when there's a bottle handy nearby. Happy to say tendonitis in my ankle has stopped bothering me since I lost some weight though. (The one thing an episode of depression is good for!)

See, tendinitis is another thing it never occurs to me that I could take ibuprofin (or anything else) for. I'm just all, well, that hurts a lot, guess I should get used to it.

Not me. First twinge and I'm reaching for the ibuprofen bottle. Considering how much I downed in my 20s it's amazing I even have kidneys left.

I just opened an article to edit, and it is, for real, on the use of a restrictive opioid prescribing protocol after OB/GYN and abdominal surgery. Coincidence or spooky shit? You be the judge.
