Steroids vs. common painkillers: which works better for fresh injuries?

Summary

Researchers want to see if a short course of oral steroids works better than the standard combination of Tylenol and ibuprofen at reducing pain and improving function. The study involves 60 adults with recent injuries who visit an orthopedic urgent care clinic.
