Though this particular medication combines two drugs commonly found in daily life, they were still something I took enough of to be concerned about. I quickly got to a point where I was unable to practice or mask my body aches without taking this relatively mild cocktail.
There was no staff member or trainer concerned about the frequency with which I took these pills, as they obviously ranked low on the list of pain management.
After a year of taking this medication, I made the decision to back off as much as possible, electing to only take the pills during padded practices and on game days. In truth, I was worried about what taking those pills on a daily basis could do to me. But my situation was different than those who were playing the majority of snaps on Sundays.
