  My friend works out and takes pain meds frequently.

  He also complains about yearly kidney stones.

  I have never had a kidney stone. Where he’s on his 8th one.

    Yeah, they’re partly genetic but you can risk it. I have a couple of friends who have had their third or fourth stone and I’ve never felt so much as a slight discomfort on my kidneys. It makes me wonder wtf they’re doing to themselves but I’m not one to judge.

    Was he on narcotics? I’m finding no link between Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen to kidney stones.

    pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30829133/

    Ibuprofen is mostly processed by your liver as well. Acetaminophen uses a bit of both.

    This appears to occur predominantly systemically in the liver [1,10], but may occur pre-systemically in the gut as well [11]. Ibuprofen is almost completely metabolized, with little to no unchanged drug found in the urine [1,9,12].

    Acetaminophen (APAP) is normally metabolized in the liver and kidney by P450 enzymes. No toxicity is observed with therapeutic doses of APAP.

    That was definitely the cause of my kidney stone, because I don’t take OTC pain meds frequently, but if you do have ways to avoid kidney stones, avoid kidney stones. They are no fun.

  i’m the polar opposite, if i have a headache/migraine or cold symptoms i pop an ibuprofen and suddenly it’s completely gone half an hour later.

  Weird, because I can feel the Aspirin when I take it. It makes me feel ever so slightly numb all over and gummy at my core in a strange way. Kind of similar to when I eat a lot of sugar and it feels like I have syrup for blood and it leaves me lethargic.

    Aspirin is a weird drug. Stick to ibuprofen or even just acetaminophen if you have stomach issues. Naproxen Sodium, Ibuprofen and Aspirin all irritate the stomach lining, and aspirin adds a risk of bleeding since it’s also a blood thinner.

      And acetaminophen is brutal on your liver if you take it often.

        And do not mix it with alcohol, that’ll toast your liver in real short order.

  and it’s taxing on the kidneys/liver

  I hear you, I can only pretty much take acetaminophen… And yeah, it won’t pay off well.
