NSAIDS

[DragonRider]

I'm curious if anyone other than me is on some kind of NSAID such as Ibuprofen or Naproxen Sodium (Aleve) 365 days a year due to chronic pain in either their shoulders, elbows or knees?

I use Ibuprofen nearly everyday.

Guys, NSAIDs do not promote healing, I'd suggest reading Dr Michael Colgan's book Spiorts Nutrition Guide, theres a section on glucosamine near the back, he also explains how he healed a busted knee naturally.

all NSAIDs do is control inflamation... that's it.
I took Ibuprofen daily for years..... ended up in the emergency room projectile-puking up blood like the Linda Blair in the Excorcist.
Peptic Ulcer about the size of a dime.
Take sparingly... and take with food.... that's all I got to say.

I agree with your point about healing. My problem is, I've used glucosamine and condroiten at twice the recommended levels and they did nothing whatsoever for my pain. I began to think the only people who would continue to recommend them were people who really didn't know what pain was or people who wanted to see you continue to suffer.

Effective and not as harsh as some.

I would never use tylenol peroid. It hasn't any anti inflammatory action and is EXTREMELY harsh to the liver, I would feel safer taking d-bol everyday. Thousands die every year from liver failure due to tylenol.

Wow...if its so harmful why is it still around?

I knew tylenol didnt exactly have anti inflammatory properties but it seemed to work well for me

Because the pharm company that produces tylenol, has a powerful Washington lobby. It's not about how safe a drug is, it's about how much money it generates.

All that is understandable, I didnt think they had such a big roll in politics

 

[liftsiron]

For years drug and oil companies along with wall street have controlled Washington.

 

[Jester]

ha... you would think the petroleum industry is the biggest money maker in the US... not.
It pales in comparison to the pharm industry.
Wonder why you never hear that on the news?
Oh yeah.... pharm companies pay for more advertisement... my bad.

i have taken my share of " supplements " in my day and the ONLY bad liver enzyme test i ever had was with no supplements. i was sick with the flu and takeing over the counter flu meds with tylenol in them. my enzyme levels were through the roofand the ER doctor said it was very common lol. money talks and thats why its still around.

ibuprophen daily and sparingly now, I used to use 1,000 every morning sometimes at night too but have stopped that.

You got to get off that stuff asap and find an MD would practices Prolotherapy.

I was just like you for my knees as I am a retired powerlifter.

I am not affiliated with this website but it's very useful.

Colgan used up to 9 grams of glucosamine, a shitload of glutamine, EFA's and antioxidants.

How often to you use ice packs on your knees? It has the same effect as NSAIDs but doesn't have any side effects. Just get a bag of ice or frozen peas, drape a tea towel over the knees and sit the icepack/peas on top, make sure the knees are elevated as well and keep there for 10 minutes.

Remember the treatment for strains & sprains - RICE

R rest
I ice
C compression
E elevate

This method has been around for hundreds of years, long before NSAIDs were polluting our bodies.
