How unhealthy is drugs that make you recover quickly?

that's a meaningless question. What drugs? What doses? How long for? Recover quickly from what? For what person? With what pre-existing conditions/other treatments?

It's like asking "do objects hurt when they get thrown at you?"

Impossible to answer

Even if you were to name all the aforementioned factors it still may be difficult to give a definitive answer as to whether it's "unhealthy" (what does that even mean)

edit: the best answer I could give would be "maybe, but probably not"

I don't think that was a serious question

Hard to answer this question, but in a broad sense we can say that tissue repair is a fine balancing act where lots of things can go wrong, from physiologically right down to the molecular level.
Lots of naturally occurring diseases are the result of screw ups in tissue repair. A very simple example is Dupuytren's disease, which is just fibroblasts accidentally laying down the wrong subtype of collagen. But we could also go as far as to say that many cancers arise from stem cells involved in tissue repair.

Of course, there's going to be a spectrum where at the lower level things are less unhealthy than "normal" things such as smoking cigarettes or eating bacon. But "champions" always push harder than everyone else, right?

Deserves the death penalty imo.
