How it works
COX inhibition reduces prostaglandin-driven nociceptor sensitisation and inflammatory oedema around the injured ligament. Facilitates early movement — the key to optimal recovery.
Use for 3–5 days maximum. As with tendinopathy, prolonged NSAID use may theoretically impair ligament healing. Adequate pain relief facilitates the early loading that improves outcomes.
