Re: Answer for Left Side Jaw Joint Pain

,

Make sure you eat food with the Naproxen. Aside from tearing up my stomach,

it's a miracle drug for me.

Thanks for the explanation, it does make sense. I also had a

panorac taken, and I did not have any inflamation, but I was not in

pain the day I went. " up to a year " is the magic saying now, only 8

more months to go!!!!

Hope you are feeling better!!

I saw my ortho about a month or so ago, and he told me that, even at

2 years post-op, the joints are still remodeling. That's not meant to

depress you, but it can be a long healing process.

Isn't Naproxen (Alleve) that med that's been banned or given a

warning? I had some that I bought in the US but I don't take it

anymore. Advil gelcaps seem to do the trick for me when I have

headaches that nothing else works on.

, I think you're thinking of the recent problems with Vioxx.

There have also been some studies that suggest problems (some

possible links with heart trouble) with some other 2 inhibitors --

Celebrex, Bextra, etc. -- but the docs I've asked about the recall

seem not seriously worried about it, at least for me. Not denying the

possibilities, just suggesting that the risks may have been overblown.

I am not aware of any problem with the Naproxen that other NSAIDS

(aspirin, Motrin, etc.) don't have, too.

There was in fact a study released on Naproxen recently (I take it

for neck pain, so I remember being worried when I saw the headline!)

I'm not 100% sure, but I *think* the problem was a slight increase in

stroke risk in elderly patients. I might be wrong on this though --

so it's probably worth checking out if you're taking naproxen and are

concerned.

Personally, I find it extrememly helpful for inflammation, though as

someone else said, it can be a bit hard on the stomach.
