Anti Inflammatories before meet?

Hi,

I have a meet coming up in 2 weeks. I've been leaning on ibuprofen a little (or more than a little) to get through the training and to be a bit more comfortable during the days.

Just wondering if there is any negative effect to going into the meet pre-dosed up on ibuprofen or using decent amounts of linaments (salicylate based) or better to endure the pain on the day?
