 En cuanto a la vía de administración de los AINE, la revisión Cochrane [1] sugiere que
 no hay evidencia para recomendar otra vía que no sea la oral en la lumbalgia aguda.

pain NSAID intramuscular oral

Acute pain management in older adults. National Guideline Clearinghouse (USA). 2006.

 Avoid intramuscular (IM) administration in older adults. 
 Because of muscle wasting and less fatty tissue in older as compared to younger adults, 
 intramuscular absorption of analgesics in older adults is slowed 
 and may result in delayed/prolonged effect of IM injections, 
 altered analgesic serum levels and possible toxicity with repeated injections [2, 3, 4, 5].

Comparing analgesic efficacy of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs given by different routes in acute and chronic pain: a qualitative systematic review. DARE. 1998. link.

 In renal colic there was evidence that NSAIDs act quickest when given intravenously. 
 In all other pain conditions there was a lack of evidence of any difference between administration routes. 
 In pain conditions other than renal colic, there is, therefore, 
 a strong argument to give oral NSAIDs when patients can swallow [6].
