Is there a superior NSAID at reducing swelling?

[FN57]

I made a similar post yesterday but not quite the same but is there a superior NSAID at reducing swelling? I have these four to work with ketorolac, meloxicam, ibuprofen, and naproxen (all oral forms). I realize people say it varies from person to person or most are generally considered equally effective so ill go off your personal opinions and/or experiences. Thanks

At equipotent doses, they are all pretty similar. Ketorolac may have superior analgesia but not necessarily lessen inflammation to a greater degree. It shouldnt be taken more than 5 days though as it has higher incidence of side effects.

I like naproxen.

Thanks again. Did know that about ketorolac, rough on the liver. Main reason I steered clear of it.

I've had ketorolac as toradol (injected at hospitals) and felt it was top notch, even euphoric for me and lasted the longest. I'd rank naproxen next best personally despite the more frequent dosing compared to meloxicam. It just managed pain from inflammation better and I needed it fewer days to treat sprains. Ibuprofen doesn't work well for me.
