Polycystic kidney disease is hereditary; aspirin and ibuprofen in high doses can be toxic to kidneys and cause kidney failure, but I don't think they can cause PKD. But your warning is a good one - avoid high doses of ibuprofen to save your kidneys, and high doses of Tylenol to save your liver.

My only word of warning about Advil: please be careful, my father now has polycycstic kidney disease that has been linked to long-term use of high doses (800-1000) of ibruprofen. Dosages that had been recommended by his drs. Pretty much my whole family is now on Tylenol - low dose Tylenol.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

End bars
I just added end bars http://bicyclehabitat.com/site/itemd...g=1&sort=Price to my Specialized Sirrus and I have to say I had the best ride of my life. I paid $20 for them at my LBS. I know they are normally for mountain bikes but the reason I added them is to have more hand positions since the straight bar don't allow for much options. They helped me a lot during my climbs and sprints, and felt much more comfortable rinding overall.

For road bike, wrist & neck pain:
1. check with your bike shop for better bike fitting.
2. change your hand position time to time while you are riding.
3. If you are new, you may get use to it later on. Just try to relax. (I had pain for a while but it got better)
4. If the pain is really serious, you might want to change your handlebar shifting gear to different brand. A lot of ladies say Shimano is more comfortable than Campy or someone like me is more comfortable with Campy.
hope it helps...
