Should you ice an injury or heat it instead or take anti inflammatory drugs ?
May 2nd, 2013
This is a question that many people ask. Do I heat ice or heat an injury? Taking anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen ( Advil ) before intense cycling damages the cells of the small intestine and reduces gut barrier function, which might allow bacteria to escape into the bloodstream. The better option to ward off pain and inflammation is to ice the area after the work out.
