Becky,

Only you can decide this for yourself. As you know if you read this list

regularly, some have had severe problems from Vioxx; others are taking it,

prescribed by doctors who say it is safe. Personally, I take it because my

joints feel like I'm 100 years old when I don't and my doctors say they are

watching closely and feel I will be OK with it. Honestly, it makes me nervous,

but I am taking the chance. I have ordered a months supply of Syn-flex and when

it arrives, I will stop the Vioxx and try it for a month to see if it works. I

can get away with the Vioxx every other day, sometimes skipping 2 days, and my

doctor says it is OK to do this.

Hope this helps.

H.

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.

Am I crazy for trying the vioxx?

Thank you.

my doctors say they are watching closely and feel I will be OK with it.

, I am curious about this.......what exactly are they " watching closly "

for and why do they " feel you will be OK with it? " The reason(s) I am

asking is because when I developed a bleeding ulcer there were absolutely NO

warning signs that I could feel/detect. Saturday I walked around Phipps

conservatory for several hours feeling just fine.....Sunday morning I woke

up feeling fine.....within two hours I started to feel very weak, then felt

like I had to have a bowel movement and filled the bowl with blood. Next

thing I new my numbers were dropping rapidly and they were transfusing

me.......hoping that it wasn't going out as quick as they were putting it

in. When I asked the doc what warning signs did I miss he replied " None,

there aren't any! "

I am relieved that you are going to try the Syn-flex.......I am myself

waiting very anxiously for all the reports from the people on this list. I

am tired of waiting for the next dose of Darvocet. And, like you, I live

with constant leg pain.......somedays (like lately) I feel as though I am

dragging around two large painful tree trunks........it makes life

miserable!!!! HTH, P.
