When NSAIDs make pain worse - A significant public health concern | Caring Medical

The data does seem to be somewhat inconsistent, especially with arthritis. But, there is a fair amount of evidence that chronic use of NSAIDs impairs tendon healing.

You are at risk of both tendon healing issues as well as arthritis, so take your pick.

Personally, I do believe in the use of NSAIDs in a couple of cases. Acute non-injury pain (back spasms), perhaps where one can knock out the pain permanently. Also, there are occasions when one seems to get cyclical pain, perhaps from muscle spasms that doesn't go away, and may need a little extra kick to stop the pain cycle.

I'd be reluctant to take NSAIDs on a chronic basis.
