抗發炎藥物（止痛藥）讓疼痛血上加霜（發炎、疼痛、關節炎）。

跑步會增加磨損，導致發炎、疼痛，最終引發關節炎。 發炎最初是為了重建該區域，但由於人們不明白發生了什麼，他們會服用抗發炎藥物來麻痺疼痛，這樣他們就可以繼續運動。 這更是雪上加霜。 痛苦是重要的訊息，值得我們尊重。

原文：”Running increase wear and tear, leading to inflammation, pain and eventual arthritis. The inflammation is sent initally to rebuild the area, yet as people don't understand what's happening, they take anti-inflammatiories to numb the pain so they can continue to exercise. This adds insult to injury. Pain is a critical message and deserves our respect.”
