Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Naproxen, based on dosage, is available over the counter in the US too.
It takes a little research (usual prescription dose) and a little math (adding up OTC shit to the prescription dose) and you can get the same effect for a few bucks for a big box generic.
I used it for a LONG time for various pains. I went from playing hockey, to retail, and... man, both can leave you in pain. Especially if half of everyday is unloading trucks box by box. Thankfully, I'm out of that line of work for the most part... but I moved from a major city to a rural area and I'm desperate for work, so we shall see.
Naproxen does work, for most. I had a pharmacy tech cert, and I can say that every med doesn't work for every person. There is no panacea.
That being said, overuse can contribute to stomach ulcers. They suck. They hurt. You have to change most of your habits.
Though, I will say, if you want to get out of work because you don't feel well (because ulcers) vomiting blood from 5 actively bleeding ulcers will make even a shitty walmart manager condone your absence.
