Syn Flex Questions please help

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I have been reading all the postings how syn-flex seems to be quite

the miracle drug for arthritis pain.... I have severe bone on bone

arthritis in my hip that stems from a childhood injury...Currently, I

have no disability insurance so I have had to postponne my hip

replacement for a bit and am currently taking percocet on a regular

basis for pain (basically so I can walk)

I have asked my doctor about synflex wanting a script and she has no

idea what I am talking about. So... whats the scoop... is this a

homeopathic remedy? If so where can I get it? Is it safe for us to

take? Well tolerated? any possible side effects?

Thanks to all

Cunningham

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.
