A member asked:
Does diclofen sodium nsaids help with healing a bruised rib or muscle or is it just a bandaid for pain only? how fast does it work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NSAIDS help reduce pain and inflammation and start working within a few hours of intake. Relief from pain depends on the degree of injury. medications take time to work and be effective and their action and doses and how given have to be proportionate to the injury
