A member asked:
A study showed that n saids or any anti inflammatories inhibit, or prevent bone growth. is this true?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They can: Inflammation usually occurs as a result of diseases or toxic overload in the body. Inhibiting that process can help make people more comfortable, but there can be a downside because the mechanisms the body uses to create inflammation are also involved in healing and growth. That's why it is important to limit NSAID use to the acute phase of health problems, usually no longer than a couple of weeks.
