Question of the Week

Today’s QoW is based on today’s column by Gabe Mirkin, M.D., NSAIDs May Prevent Benefits of Strength Training.

(We really need to replenish our stock of Questions! Please submit you own QoW ideas using the Question of the Week Ideas link.)

Do you ever take an NSAID such as Ibuprofen to reduce muscle soreness?

    Having read the same new study results as Gabe quotes, I’ve been more cautious recently. Stretching, yoga, and relaxation before bedtime give me about the same benefits for sleeping after hard and soreness-inducing workouts, which is when I’ve been most inclined to use NSAIDS.

    I couldn’t agree more with Dave’s comment. Gentle yoga helps my muscles recover from a hard workout faster than any pill. I’m especially glad I don’t use NSAID’s after reading Dr. Mirkin’s article.
