A member asked:
Typically, how long a regiment of anti-inflammatory to help heal a sore back/hips caused from a backward twist with a 20lb weight in my hand?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
4-6 weeks: Antiinflammatory meds probably do not heal anything. They may simply provide some pain relief while the situation improves. It usually takes 4-6 weeks for an acute back sprain/strain to heal.
