NSAIDs tend to work better on constant pain and not that well on intermittent pain. So the narcotics still work better for intermittent pain. But for something like an injury, the NSAIDs work great.

I knew a lady that was dying of cancer and she was in a lot of pain. They were giving her morphine and dilaudid which had virtually no effect on her pain because the cancer was really bad. When they gave her Toradol (an NSAID) her pain vanished for about 4 hours each dose. That is just one of many examples of where high power NSAIDs rock.
