use of nsaids

[Guest guest]

i would have to disagree that using NSAIDs is

harmful. use of that class of drug will not "deaden" the

kind of acute discomfort that comes from pushing a

joint/ligament to the "edge". <br>NSAIDS do offer the benefit of

reducing some of the inflammation that results from

exertion. often, the body's response to local

injury--inflammation--causes more injury than the original problem. NSAIDs

reduce the discomfort after exertion and reduce

development of fibrosis, calcification and micro-scarring

that occurs with chronic exertion. taking and aspirin

or low dose motrin prior to practice, or if you have

an especially sensitive stomach, after practice when

you have something to eat, will reduce your

discomfort over the next few days. judicious use of those

meds has clear benefit, injudicious use clearly has

its consequences
