Vioxx question | Arthritis Information

Share
 

I have been recently diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis and welcome the chance to share information with people who are dealing with the same problems I am. My pain was managed well by Vioxx but my life has fallen apart since they removed it from the market.  Have still not found an anti-inflammatory that I can stomach and am on methotrexate along with narcotic pain killers.  Has any one else had this reaction to going off Vioxx?

Hmm, well I never used Vioxx but I did use celebrex, and its no longer covered by my insurance and I can really feel the difference. I recommend you ask your doctor, and find out what other options are out there. And just try them one by one til you find one thats right for you. Good luck!

Not crazy about taking all these pain meds either.
