you definitely don't want to abuse the anti inflammatories bro... i have seen them cause negative effects... just follow the dosing on it and you will be fine... my elbow has been giving me shit for like a month and i started using the skeletal balm the other day and the relief it has provided me is simply amazing... you may want to look into that... its priced so reasonably and the bottle will last a long time... it has really worked out amazingly for me...
