Exercising through the pain of osteoarthritis: medication equals dedication or no pain, no gain?

Asked by ETpro (34605points) November 13th, 2011

The Celebrex commercial warns, “It’s simple physics, a body at rest tends to stay at rest, while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. As true as that may be, all NSAIDs including aspirin, naproxen and ibuprofen carry risk factors, as this rather spooky Celebrex commercial so ably points out. So is medicating the answer, or is it better to just grit your teeth and continue to exercise through the pain?
