Today I was on the call with an injured runner who is trying to figure out how soon she can start running. She had been having pain and she was getting relief by taking over-the-counter medication. She asked me whether not that was good or bad.
Whenever we have pain, we can simply take a pill, and the pain will go away. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or NSAIDs are powerful readily available painkillers. I do not just get rid of inflammation they also control or reduce pain.
So, when is it okay or not okay to reduce your pain with NSAIDs if you are in the process of recovering from a running over training injury?
That is a great question and that is what we’re talking about today on the Doc On The Run podcast!
