The headline is so very misleading isn't it. Should've used a word other than recovery I think.
"While we have shown that paracetamol does not speed recovery from acute back pain,
there is evidence that paracetamol works to relieve pain for a range of other conditions,
such as headaches, some acute musculoskeletal conditions, tooth ache and for pain straight after surgery."
Have paracetamol manufacturers claimed that that the product will speed recovery?
It is purely an analgesic is it not?
It targets some areas and not others?.
Like so many other analgesics, NSAIDS etc some work for some people and not for others.
Not having a go at you Missy, am having a go at the misuse of the word "recovery" in the article.
He has found it helped with the bone aches and pains after the Barmah Forest virus debacle and yep the glucosamine will take a little while to kick in so start NOW...
