Hi Cubbybear!
>No--that sounds wildly excessive and a bit risky, even if it is aspirin.
900mg four times a day is a relatively 'standard' dose of aspirin for pain. 600mg four times a day may provide some small relief. Single doses <600mg are unlikely to provide any relief. 75-300mg/day is used for cardiovascular prophylaxis, these doses provide no pain relief or anti-inflammatory effect. The maximum 24 hour dose of aspirin for rheumatic disease is 8000mg in six divided doses, such high doses are used only under close supervision/monitoring. 600-900mg four times a day is a normal dose for pain.
>By the way, are you in the medical profession?
No, I'm a student.

Lol, people do!
