When I took ibuprofen for menstrual cramps I had to take 6 to get any relief. I am so glad those days are over with. I know I would still opt for the ibuprofen over the pain. Luckily I don't have to choose.Opioids may actually be the safer option for those of us who are not in danger of becoming addicted. I used to have a lot of leftover oxycontin just hanging around because I no longer needed it. There needs to be a way to treat people with legitimate pain issues.
