Indomethacin For Sacral Fractures NSAIDs Prevent Healing Of Sacaral Fractures
Question: Indomethacin for sacral fractures
NSAIDs prevent healing of sacaral fractures
NSAIDs prevent healing of sacaral fractures
Brief Answer:
Yes, NSAIDS not recommended in fracture healing
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your query and here is my advice.
Yes, usually NSAIDS are not recommended as pain medication during fracture healing.
As NSAIDS inhibits prostaglandin which plays important role in healing. Because of that indomethacin/NSAIDS causes delayed healing or slows bony union.
Kindly keep mobilizing as advised by spine surgeon as early mobilization helps bony union. For pain you can try tablet naproxen after consultation. You can apply diclofenac gel or ointment locally. Gentle application of heating pads will also help.
Hope I have answered your query.
