I was never a big user until trying to finish first TABR when I had all the tendon issues. But then I got the fluid retention/cankles which caused further problems and after I got back did some research and there's load of reasons not to use ibuprofen. So all subsequent races I've not taken any. I think I did take a tube of Voltaren with me on a race because you can apply that to a specific area without having it pass through all the rest of your body but I think that was after already doing damage in second TABR and worrying it would kick off in TCR a month later. Not sure if I even used it. Only paracetamol used during RATN.

Jesus, that's scared me. Have been taking ibuprofen for years when cycling long distance....
