The article doesn't touch on it, but from what I've read NSAIDs like ibuprofen also slow healing. I have also read, but am unsure how reliable this is, that they can harm the remodeling process during healing and lead to chronic pain.

That said, I've found great relief at times taking a moderately large dose of ibuprofen for several days to break what seems to be a cycle of persistent inflammation. YMMV I guess.
