, I started the Syn-Flex then became very ill with a UTI and stomach

virus (not connected with the Syn-Flex.) At first I thought I was getting sick

from the Syn-Flex and threw it out. I was only on it a few days so I never gave

it a fair shake.

My doctor just started me on vioxx for what he thinks is a hip problem which

is radiating into my groin. I am very concerned about using it. He has also

prescribed Aciphex to be taken twice daily due to severe heartburn I

experience occasionally.

The hip pain/groin pain is debilitating and I cannot walk at times.

Am I crazy for trying the vioxx?

Thank you.

I have severe bone on bone arthritis in my hip. My primary as well

as my WLS surgeon will NOT allow me to have vioxx since it can cause

sudden ulcers and our pouch is so small its not too safe to play

with. I take pain meds to walk while I am waiting to have disability

insurance so I can have my hip replaced, though with all the posts

Ive been reading I might have a script for Syn-Flex prescribed for me

to try. Just my two cents.

PS there was a posting a few days ago from someone that was taking

vioxx and had to have ulcer surgery

If I remember correctly, Aciphex is a timed release medication. Correct me

if I'm wrong...but you might be better off with Nexium or Prevacid. I wouldn't

touch vioxx though...for me! Since I will not take a blood transfusion, I do

everything in my power to keep my blood count up, and avoid anything that

will cause a bleed. If it means biting the proverbial bullet, then, so be it.

I

really do miss the vioxx though, as it did help my arthritis considerably.

But it just isn't worth the risk to me.

Becky,

I feel your pain. I had to have my hip replaced 1 1/2 years after

WLS. It was the WLS that allowed me to lose the weight in order to

get the hip replacement. I was 45--often considered too young for

the replacement. It has changed my life completely. It seems like

a miracle to me even today. Now that I am off Celebrex, (closely

related to Vioxx) I now know I have arthritis in my other hip but

have been able to control it with glucosimine/chondroitin & MSM. I

am seriously considering trying the Syn-flex formula I heard about

here instead. I was very lucky to not have had any problems with

celebrex. My doctor thought it would be safe for my stomach. Now

we know otherwise. I hope you can consider the surgery. Good Luck.
