Physicians should encourage adults to use NSAIDs, particularly topical ones, to treat acute non-low back pain that stems from musculoskeletal injuries, according to a new guideline from the ACP and American Academy of Family Physicians.

A healthy 15-year-old girl presented with a 1-year history of left hip pain that worsened with activity. Her discomfort occurred primarily during cheerleading. Her pain was predominantly in the groin. She complained of painful catching and, at times, a locking sensation in the hip joint. She denied night pain and rest pain. Prior to presentation, she underwent physical therapy and chiropractic care without relief.

Clinically significant worse outcomes in patients with femoroacetabular impingement after hip arthroscopy were associated with baseline psychological impairment.
