Pain Med.

Hi Wayne,

I agree TENS is great...also I take flexeril for muscle spasms and

norflex for my muscle pain....These 2 work well for me the only thing

about the flexeril is it makes me sleepy so I only take a half a tablet

but only if I truly am in need of it and the same goes for the norflex.

I have heard someone mention celebrex in my Family so I will check on

that and get back to you on it. SUE......So glad you were not hurt!!

You are one brave Lady!!

I have been on Celebrex for about 15 months now, it is much easier on

the stomach than the previous generation of Arthritus medications. I

still take a small dose of Prilosec to counteract the extra stomach

acid from years of taking Naprosene and others. Within the 1st two

weeks of taking Celebrex, my acid reflux spells in the middle of the

night have stopped and I have had only a few relatively minor spells

since. I have CMT, and Arthritus in all of my joints, Celebrex works

very well on my knees and ankles (both fused) but does not work on my

jaw. My jaw pops and cracks alot, Relafin and Naprosene did not work

either.

Vioxx worked equally well as Celebrex but was more expensive about 9

months ago. Currently I am taking 200MG a day and have not had the

popping in my knees and ankles, that I had with Relafin.
