After months of going to various doctors, we found out it was the Alleve. He stopped taking it and was immediately better, but it will take more than a year or two before he is normal. Alleve should not be long term....without a drs. CLOSE supervision (we had that)! Pris Does your pig need a brush-up in manners or obedience? Or bored and wanting to learn tricks?

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 First I want to say welcome to all the new members. However, I have not had my first appt. with my Rheumy doc. yet so I am still one of the ones that is needing advice from the others as well. This is a WONDERFUL group and the most informed and I know you will get great advice and the support needed. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY MY FAVORITE GROUP!! I LOVE THESE PEOPLE!! Secondly, sorry everyone I have not posted lately. This week has been terrible! My back has hurt so bad all week and my husband is on me to clean up the house, which I do pick up I just cannot do much of anything else w/o being in so much pain. Actually, the picking up the house is very painful too. I have only some pain med's my PCP gave me for the pain to last until I can get to my first appt. with the Rheumy which is not until Oct. 4th. And needless to say the pain med's do not work at all. I am allergic to aspirin and ibuprofen so the only thing over the counter I can take is Tylenol. Which does not work either. Well, enough complaining from me. I hope everyone has a great weekend. Anita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 Anita, Tell your husband that a clean house is a sign of a misspent life!!! Ha! Don't let it get you down. I don't worry much about the house anymore, especially when you hurt and in a lot of pain. Can you take a prescription anti-inflammatory?? I take Lodine XL and it helps keep down swelling and inflammation. Maybe your regular doc could get you a few til your appt. with rheumy. Just remember to take with food to protect your stomach. Hope you get some help and relief.
