i take up to 12 200mg ibuprofens everyday when things are bad, and that really helps control the pain. ibuprofen/motrin/advil - i think you can take the same amount of any of those for pain, 4 200mg pills every 8 hours like lecia said. i've never had problems w/ these meds being constipating. if you're concerned, try MOM before bed.
narcotics tend to be more constipating than OTC meds, i've found. i'm pretty sure the most common prescription pain meds, like percocet and vicadin, are narcotics.
