Pain Killers May Delay Bone Healing
Now they tell me.
I've been taking some NSAID painkillers for my broken collarbone. I took them pretty regularly for the first week, and then after that only when it was really bothering me.
Now, I usually look upon chiropractors as "Quacks", (See Penn and Teller's show for some info on that), but this article at the Chiropractice Research site actually cites university studies on rats which showed much slower bone recovery in those who were given painkillers.
I think I'll do my best to lay off the tablets for a while...
I really want this bone to heal and my shoulder to get back to normal. It is making me very very grumpy.
