Painkillers Before Workouts: How NSAIDs Affect Muscle Recovery

Many people take painkillers like ibuprofen or naproxen before workouts to push through soreness, but few understand what those medications actually do during training. In this video, I break down how NSAIDs affect muscle recovery and tendon health, using a pharmacist and physiology-based perspective. We’ll explain what COX inhibition means, why inflammation isn’t always the enemy, and how routinely blocking pain signals can interfere with adaptation. You’ll learn: How NSAIDs work at the COX enzyme level Why inflammation is part of muscle adaptation How NSAIDs can blunt recovery signals Why tendons are especially vulnerable The difference between occasional use and routine use Why masking pain can increase injury risk This isn’t about fear, it’s about understanding what your body is telling you so you can train smarter and recover better. 📌 Educational content only.
