The Great British Weather

hippy I met BRM that night so yes, I was referring to the more natural kind of painkillers..

Whatcha mean chemical ones stop you healing? What sort? How? Why? What? Really? Damn. There goes my codeine habit.

Ha! R U Sirius? As if drug companies want people to actually get better! That'd be like inventing the water powered car, or the everlasting lightbulb. They'd be out of business.

Brufen (aka Ibuprofen) is an anti inflammatory. Bones develop an inflamed 'sheath' (!) around the break to provide the right environment to grow back together. No Inflammation = no growth.

Codiene's fine though, if you want to feel like you're smacked out of your face all the time.
