...a good article for us all to read and maybe research some more.

Why do doctors always prescribe anti-inflammatories to help in the healing process?

If you aren't sure if you want to read the whole article, read the conclusion first for an overview.

Another study will come out in two weeks, or is already out, that nearly completely counters this one. All the "fact" that the medical field spews out is merely educated guesswork. Otherwise, they couldn't retract them later on, which is almost always the case...

Just listen to your bodies. It works much better.

Because years of clinical trials have proven efficacy and patients often want to treat their condition as quickly and conveniently as possible despite the caveats of the drug. There's also money in medicine.

Taking pain relievers kinda muffles the communication don't you think?

I figured I'd post this article since a lot of climbers use these daily to combat regular wear and tear. I know excessive inflammation is not conducive to healing. But according to the article, anti-inflammatory drugs can also interfere with the healing process. If trying to heal an injury then this is significant information right?
