Hey fish.
If 2 advil don’t touch it, if you got a script for three from the Doc, that wouldn’t be unusual.
Take it by the clock. Every 4 hours even if you find, Lord willing, that it worked and you feel better. It is important that you get ahead of the pain and stay there.
When one of my soccer players had pain I sent them to their parents to get one. Can't give a player drugs you know. And oh yes, ice.
