Fw: [at-l] Vitamin I

[orangebug74@yahoo.com (Orange Bug)]

That depends on what you mean by dehydration. Ibuprofen and most any
NSAID does have anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties that should
reduce increased fluid caused by inflammation. That fluid has some
lubricant property as well as a medium for certain cells to do their
response to inflammation. But excessive fluid can do bad things that
make joint movement painful and more challenging.

NSAIDs also have some kidney side effects that can cause a number of
problems, including renal failure. GI adverse effects further indicate
that these drugs deserve respect and caution.

But they are very appropriate for chronic use in arthritis of several
varieties - with appropriate medical supervision. They are not
appropriate to use as a means of ignoring injury or avoiding rest for
overworked muscles, tendons, joints and bones. Pain is a message that
requires a response.
