bone & joint pain-JoAnn, Sharon T's, et. al.-Solutions

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I've been reading all the bone & joint pain posts and it seems no one noticed my

earlier post about how I solved my bone pain problem on 800 mg Gleevec with

Ativan. It is a tranquilizer but it DOES work for bone pain in a fairly low

dose. It is not addictive. I never had any problems at all with it. I only

had to take an Ativan IV once when the pain was literally unbearable. Other

than that I just took tabs as needed.

Also, instead of those old stand-bys Tylenol and Ibuprofen which some of you are

hesitant to take, I recommend Aleve. I have some pain now because of a bone

marrow test gone bad seveal years ago. I take two Aleve in the morning and two

at night and don't have any pain at all.

I wouldn't make these recommendations if they didn't work for me.
