Can't be any worse than a load of jizz 4-6 times a day.

WTF? :shock:

See if your physician will prescribe Flexiril and MS Contin instead. 8)

There's been times in the past that I've takin' 4 800's in a pop 3-4 times a day. But thats just me.

I "WOULDN'T" recommend it though!!!
That is absolutely too much motrine. You must not realize the damge your doing to your liver.
I had fucked up my knees pretty bad right before an EIB road march. In order to try to tough it out, I took some where around 6 of them at once, mixed in with a milk shake about an hour before the start time.

I think I hit the edge of the toxic level for them, because I felt sick and dazed up until the turn around point, where I let out a mighty stream of medicinally-scented urine.

Motrin's generally a good thing, but there's definately too much of a good thing. I've stuck to 800mg or less per sitting since.
