Thanks Brian. Ibuprofen is best avoided on a regular basis. But if the pain is just too much you can take 2 x 500 mg tablets in a day for never more than 4 to 5 days.
While living in the Middle East my Company owned a Furniture shop, where I saw this Orthopedic mattress - upto 5 stars. So we bought a five star and a three star mattress. In severe early morning rising pain the 5-star mattress worked wonders, while for general daily use the 3- star mattress was good. Now mattresses sold in the Middle East and in India need to be turned around every 3-months - Jan to March, April to June, Jul to Aug & Sep to Dec - as these markings are stitched into the mattress. I believe the same is not available in the US - I mean the turn around types. Do look into your mattress Brian, as every type may not suit every individual. In our villages, folks with back pain recommend sleeping on a hard wooden bed with just a thick bed sheet we call a "duree" a multi color woven stuff. But I certainly do not recommend one - each to his own choice. Brian, you have my personal guarantee you will be feeling much better - short of a 100 % cure. Please do give it a try. I am no doctor, just a humble human who believes in "Help Ever Hurt Never". Regards.
