There is evidence that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can actually impair your healing, says Dr. Jason Theodosakis, M.D. "If you take something to numb your pain, you might move your body in a way that's just going to make your injury-and pain- worse," he says. Instead, Theodosakis suggests taking the natural anti-inflammatory supplement called pycnogenol, which comes from the French maritime pine bark extract, and boosting your daily dose of Omega-3s to promote healing.
