Guest guest Posted August 17, 2002 Report Share Posted August 17, 2002 I've just finished a short course of Naproxin for back pain related to a touch of arthritis & very slight degeneration. I can't even begin to tell you how CAREFULLY I took this because of the stomach damage I know is very possible. I'm now in a wait and see mode as to whether the Naproxin was effective in eliminating the inflamation. If not I presume I will need to take something long-term to deal with the pain. I don't see NSAID's as an option. So the obvious question is what are my options? I seem to remember someone posting about a relatively new drug on the market that is not stomach damaging. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I want to know what the viable alternatives are before I see my doctor. ===== A. in Indy SRVG 4-11-00 Dr. Huse St. 's/Carmel,IN Pre-Op: 278 lbs.
