I guess my question is whether attempting to the reduce the inflamation through non-drug means could have a detrimental effect as well. Is the swelling of the injury actually beneficial for repair, and should we just let it do its thing? Steve Swelling is detrimental to healing, which is why NSAIDs are beneficial during the acute phase of an injury. After that, NSAIDs do more harm than good. Jay Did you read the article? They claim that there is substantial evidence that NSAIDs delay healing of soft tissue even in the acute phase. I don't know enough about the topic to comment. No, I didn't read the whole article. I was basing my comments on prior information. Without NSAIDs we're stuck with Tylenol, which is basically a non-alcoholic hepatotoxic placebo. Jay
