NSAIDs are a preferred choice over acetaminophen in musculoskeletal disorders where inflammation is evident. 

NSAIDs are used commonly for musculoskeletal pain because of their availability without a prescription and anti-inflammatory effects.30,31 NSAIDs are a preferred choice over acetaminophen in musculoskeletal disorders where inflammation is evident.27 However, there is some controversy because the inflammatory response may be necessary for healing.13 Nevertheless, most experts recommend the use of NSAIDs early after acute injury to control inflammation and the range -of-motion limitations that may accompany swelling.27...

Juni et al. (2004) carried out a cumulative meta-analysis in which they included all randomised controlled trials in patients with chronic musculoskeletal disorders that compared rofecoxib with other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or placebo (p. 2021). The outcomes targeted were cardiovascular side-effects, in particular myocardial infarctions, and they found that by the year 2000 there was already evidence of a significant effect on rofecoxib on cardiovascular health, which they interpreted as harm compared with placebo. This drew an angry response from Kim and Reicin (2004), who worked for Merck, the makers of rofecoxib, claiming that the approach contravenes the basic principle of meta-analyses to combine like with like, and thus arrives at flawed conclusions .
