If we're supposed to avoid analgesics what are they doing in the acronym?

Analgesics are not anti inflammatory medication, they are pain relief meds, if I understand. Analgesics are ok for pain relief according to MEAT

Which painkillers are not also anti-inflammatory drugs? All the OTC ones are NSAIDs.

Well, acetaminophen is not NSAID, that's why you can take acetaminophen with ibuprofen for really bad headaches. That's what Excedrin is.

Well, I’d suggest making “A” stand for acetaminophen then.

Ah, it's not the only one, it's just one? If you want to share it that way, that's probably fine by everyone.

Not available in the US, but in many countries various acetaminophen+codeine preperations are available (at limited strength) OTC. "Tylenol 3" is a common one
