Guys,
Never knew this before, but I believe that Ibuprofen is a blood thinner.
Noticed it this week, had a good wreck and hit my hip and a slight rash on my elbow. Now I would expect the hip to bruise some (I was able to walk fine, so I wasn't expecting a huge bruise) but my left hip turned into a huge bruise the following evening.
Also, my entire arm is black and blue even though it was a minor scrape on the elbow. This is not typical for that type of hit for me (I have lots of experience in these :) .
Anyway, I remembered taking quite a bit of Ibuprofen that day for a sore wrist, especially before I planed to ride. I checked the PDR and it says that Ibu can cause internal bleeding and cause injuries to bleed longer.
Anyway, thought I would pass this along. I know that some of you take Ibu a lot before riding (I did) to reduce soreness. I know that I won't anymore, until I am done riding.
