My friend showed me a question on CK.
It said to use nsaids(diclofenac) as first line and acetaminophen as alternate only if they have contraindication to nsaid. was a choice.

Any idea?

That's the citation they used

Could be due to the fact that Paracetamol has no anti-inflammatory effect.

Right, but your post has changed my ingrained concept! lol
