"caffeine appears to give more relief than found with conventional pain
and soreness relievers, such as naproxen (the active ingredient in
Aleve), aspirin and ibuprofen."
of course, the study was done in response to "workout pain" which
could make it of little interest to alties.

Not so fast - I got seriously into caffeine when I discovered how well
it mixed with cycling. LOTS of group rides meet at coffee shops and not
by accident. That led me to espresso, which has become another hobby
that may or may not end up rivalling my cycling addiction. But it was
driven by it. I'd never thought of caffeine as helping relieve pain
(except from caffeine withdrawal headaches, so there's some chicken and
egg there) but it sure is a kick-start for a ride. I've seen some
research that indicates it also helps muscles convert glycogen and
oxygen into energy somehow, but I don't know from chemistry, so
couldn't tell you how.

Yes, Anacin has been around since the '20s. Old, indeed. New, for me
was this:
"likely works by blocking the body's receptors for adenosine, a
chemical released in response to inflammation."
which led me to this:

I think this is pretty old news. I thought Anacin was mainly aspirin
with caffeine added.
