A member asked:
How do nsaid's work?do they temporarily create a sense of relief from pain, or they do actually play a role in actual healing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NSAIDS: Shut down synthesis of inflammatory molecules. They actually delay wound and bone healing after surgery. If you have abnormal inflammatory response then nsaids help regulate this dysfunction.
