Drugs

I would like suggestions as to what particular pain
> reliever/anti-inflammatory works best for you on rides. 


I am not supposed to take aspirin or Ibuprofen because of some past surgery.
I was feeling really "picked on" when everybody was talking about the pain
relief they got from Ibuprofen. THEN I saw a news release about a month ago
warning that any athlete who was participating in sporting events that could
cause dehydration should not be taking Ibuprofen as it has been linking to
serious and immediate kidney shutdown!  This was not a "possible" side
effect, this warning had a very high percentage of kidney complications if
the drug was taken during periods of dehydration.

I watched my father suffer through total kidney failure--I'll stick to
Tylenol or better yet, I find Arnica just as good if I start it before I get
too sore.
