“Do you have another one for me? I think I also need one for the game. ”
“Thank you, I think I'm feeling better now. ”
Everything usually starts with a contusion, one Stretching ligaments or one. If only it wasn't for the pain. But there is something that everyone does, doesn't it?
Who doesn't know it. After all, the next game is the most important. This decisive game. Just that one. And then the next one. Painkillers in soccer are now an integral part of many toiletry bags and soccer bags.
And the players' willingness to accept them grows and grows. Why not? Painkillers in soccer — that's what even the pros do.
The former Schalke professional Max Meyer He took the pills even when he didn't need them at all. Auch Dejan Lovren threw in five painkillers before each game for a while.
If you have to go on dialysis three times a week due to a kidney defect, such as Ivan Klasnic? Or even if you have to end your career early due to delayed illnesses, such as Álvaro Dominguez?
But maybe it would make much more sense in the amateur sector not to take any painkillers at all.
Perhaps we should be happy that no one “burns us up”, as is all too often the case in the professional sector.
This well meant to “tear it apart for its club” in all honor, but your body wants to tell you something through the pain. That he needs a short break to be able to fully attack again. That you should take care of him and not always just fight the symptoms.
In particular, it is more important to find out why you have suffered injury XY for the third time than to suppress your pain with pills.
In particular, you should always cure them in your own interest and arrange for professional aftercare.
Just one example: an ankle injury limits mobility in this area.
The more structures have been damaged, the higher the limit on your”Range of motion“(ROM for short).
You must start in good time to regain this lost mobility and regain your full range of motion.

In the case of poorly cured or untreated injuries, this range of motion is reduced significantly in some cases.
Let's use your ankle again.
A torn ligament that has not really healed, you quickly started training again and strained the injured structures after just a few days, with the help of tape.
Since then, you've always played with tape, but suddenly you've had minor knee problems for a few weeks.
As a result of the loss of full range of motion, your front muscle chain, which runs across your ankle and knee towards your hip, suddenly gains significantly more traction during physical exertion.
Who gets the “Black Peter”? That's right, I'd like your knee.
Would you willingly swallow a tiny hand grenade? No?
However, many of us do it regularly — without even knowing it.
The hand grenades we're talking about are known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). In short, ibuprofen, aspirin, diclofenac & co. NSAIDs are the best-selling pharmaceutical. They “blow up” the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines like a hand grenade.
Holes in the intestinal mucosa (leaky gut) allow foreign bodies to enter our body.
These foreign bodies in turn increase the level of inflammation, which causes you to feel more pain and take even more NSAIDs. The vicious cycle has begun. Stomach ulcers and gastrointestinal bleeding may also occur.
Painkillers have their right to exist, but there should be a warning against their misuse and regular use. Weigh the vastly underestimated risks carefully before you use Ibu & Co next time.
