    I read something about these recently: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpag...pagewanted=all

    Reduction in GI problems is one of the benefits. But you have to apply them 4 times a day for maximum effectiveness.

    The article also noted "anti-inflammatory drugs in general have been shown to slow healing of tendons and bones," so not quite an old wives' tale, but you and your doctor would have to weigh those risks against the benefits.
