How it works
COX inhibition reduces local prostaglandin-driven pain sensitisation. However, prostaglandins also play a role in tendon healing — chronic NSAIDs may impair collagen synthesis and remodelling.
Use for the shortest effective period (5–7 days). Long-term NSAID use for tendinopathy may impair healing — unlike acute inflammation management. Topical NSAIDs (diclofenac gel) have better local-to-systemic ratio.
