A Referee's Best Friend!
Just got an advertisement insert from the local COSTCO.
ALEVE - $3.00 off a bottle of 250ct, 200mg caplets! Dues, check. Books, check. State Clinic, check. Local meetings, check. Pass Exam w/ score of 80 or above, check. Uniforms, check. Shoes, check. ALEVE, check. OK, I'm set for the new season now. Let the games begin!

I actually have a prescription painkiller I take when, for example, I have a day with 4 or 5 rec games in a row without a break.
A few years ago, when I told one of my partners about that, he said "Well, that explains a lot."

Just in time to pound the hardwood. Do they sell extra strength for the extra whiny coaches?

Advil and Aleve (actually the same medication) are an Officials best friends.

Advil, Motrin, and Nuprin are all common brand names for the generic ibuprofen. Aleve, and Naprosyn are two common brand names for naproxen. The two groups are NOT the same and have very different dosing instructions. It would not be a good idea to confuse the two.

What Cameron said - this is important.
The other thing to remember, as my wife the RN keeps reminding me, is that these drugs are anti-inflamatories not de-inflamatories. They work much better if you take them an hour or so before your game than after the fact.

Acetylsalicylic Acid ...
I'm fortunate that I have a stomach made of cast iron so aspirin is my drug of choice. One low dose (81 mg) aspirin before I go to bed each night. Two adult strength (325 mg) aspirin before I work a basketball game.
