Pain meds: Not sure what type of pain you're treating. Some conditions require more med for relief than others. People have different pain tolerance. If u find u need higher doses of motrin, check with fp for rx dose version of a stronger pain reliever. Drug levels can also be affected by other meds/supplements u take. Suggest discussing with fp to find optimal med & dose for optimal relief.
