Omg, can I just say everyone in my salle is all, "I don't take painkillers!" (quickly folowed by "it's a good sort of pain" and a carefully neutral expression from me). And I'm sorta like that, but sometimes you've just got to.
I think the people at your salle are kinda nutty. I've got ...*counts in her head* three MDs (one of which has also has a PhD in biochemistry) and two EMTs at my practice and none of them say, "I don't take painkillers." Ibuprophen is a pain killer because it also helps reduce inflammation. Getting rid of inflammation is good.
I'm not quite sure that I agree with roy_batty about ibuprofen inhibiting the muscle repair process -- but -- I do agree that Tiger Balm is truly fantastic stuff. I care some with me in my purse at all times. :)
