The only time a runner with a stress fracture should take ibuprofen
About this episode
Ibuprofen is a very popular medication among runners. I have seen ibuprofen tablets scattered on the course at every marathon and triathlon I have ever done.
Runners take it when they have aches and pains, or to get through races, but I can tell you that there is only one valid reason to take ibuprofen.
To me, the only time a runner with a stress fracture should take ibuprofen is when you have what I call a non-skippable race.
Today on the Doc On The Run Podcast we're talking about the only time a runner with a stress fracture should take ibuprofen.
