Are nsaids bad to take for back injuries such and severe si ligament strain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NSAIDS: Nsaids in themselves are not bad to take for back injuries and ligament strain - you want to be sure that you do not take more than the maximum recommended dose. And even the maximum recommended dose you don't want to take for more than a few days.
