Although this is an extreme case of sports training, The Triathlon, a question was asked about the use of Ibuprofen and sport's related injuries in the Usenet Newsgroup. A Medical reply was given by Rice University
The warnings of short term use can be found on the jar of course. The lowest dose necessary to achieve results is recommended with Ibuprofen or any oral pain medication. A consultation with a Physician may be advised.
No matter what sport interests you have or how serious we are about it sport's related injuries, muscle or joint pain will appear when we overdo it. It could just be called “having too much fun.”
Rest is one of your most important allies when you over do it.
Because of the effect on the kidneys Ibuprofen can have a diabetes effect on your body. You also may increase the chances of dehydration (especially in hot weather).
The “less” we use a NASID the lower the risk of damage to our organs. The more we use them the higher our tolerance become making higher doses necessary for the same effect. This is true for every NSAID and all oral pain medications for that matter.
Taking these pain maskers when you have an injury and continuing to participate in an activity makes the possibility of hurting yourself worse a huge possibility. The perception of pain is blocked from reaching the brain.
Have fun. Play safe and take car of your sport's related injuries. Remember to Drink Water and keep hydrated.
