I guess skiers should quit skiing due to the muscle, bone and ligament damage most eventually suffer. This stuff is a side effect of the sport, just like tennis elbow or runners shin splints. You are such a pompous dope. I also gather that you are under the impression that all divers have a big bowl of anti-inflammatory by the front door of their house and they toss down a handful every time they walk past the bowl. Long term exposure to many common across the counter drugs can have detrimental effects. We are talking about downing a couple of extra Aleives ore Ibuprofen after a deep dive.
