Is it safe to take 600mg ibuprofen every day?
I've been having back pain for about three weeks from my office job and I've been taking ibuprofen 600 almost daily. I don't want to get hooked on medication but the pain is unbearable without it.

It's not advisable to take ibuprofen 600mg every day for extended periods, especially without medical supervision - it can affect your stomach, kidneys, and liver with prolonged use. What you need to do is see a doctor so they can identify the real cause of your back pain, because if it's only being controlled with pills every day, there's probably something more that needs to be addressed at the root - whether that's physical therapy, adjustments in how you sit at the office, or whatever it is. Honestly, three weeks with that constant pain warrants a professional consultation, not just self-medicating indefinitely.
