A member asked:
If nsaids were in my system approx 1 mth prior to ankle fx and 1st 2 weeks approx of fracture could that hold up the healing process and why?

Ankle fracture: Mixed evidence on this one. After fracture, some studies point to better bone healing by limited nsaids to only a few weeks.

NSAIDs: Nsaid is given for inflammation and could cause tendon and ligament problems but should not slow bone healing.
