Summary: 

For the record, I'm 42 (and female) and have never had menstrual cramps.
I did take ibuprofen once for some temporary arthritis back when it was
called Motrin.  A few months ago, I had some pains in my hands, try buying
some of the now non-prescription ibuprofen and taking it -- and noticed
that even with the same dosage (two pills, four times a day) I wasn't
getting the same effects.  Switched to aspirin and had the pains/swelling
go away.  Could Motrin have been slightly souped up?
