Joe,
Again you are correct..Too many people forget that
Damage done by NSAIDS is
Irreversible.
I was fortunate to work with
Major athletes (McEnroe/
Holmes/Pazienza ) and Nordic Combined ski team
1984 Sarajevo Olympics.
Professional athletes have
moved away from NSAIDS.
Most don’t use alternative
medicine properly.
Sometimes take week for benefits to show..Most take
the Kool Aid instant results..

Thanks chicabow.

Yes the damage from the long-term use of NSAIDS on kidneys is a very real risk. But for some people, reaching for a pill is easier than using ice.

@chicabow, some of us have no alternative to chronic, debilitating pain. It is a trade-off but sometimes necessary.

@chicabow agree. My hand surgeon told me to stop NSAIDs completely then told me to take them after CMC surgery. I think they forget to check your chart before telling you what to do.
