Guest guest Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 Hi family, I take Bextra twice a day. Sometimes I have to take it 3 times a day, especially when the weather gets cold. I have had knee surgery, lots of lower back pain and will need a hip replaced in a few years. Now then-about my hip. The Dr. said I am in the " never never land " The hip hurts like hell but it still isn't bad enough for the insurance to pay and I can't afford to pay for it myself. Kind of bad news-badder news! I am doing what I can.For the lower back pain, I use a cut out seat cushion when I drive and sometimes put it in my chair. It does relieve the pressure. In fact I bought it at a Tuesday Morning for $20.00. It was marked $60.00. I know there are risks taking Bextra and its cousins but sometimes you have to take these Rx's. Everyone has to decide what is best for them. I take medicines with food unless directed not to do that, and lots of water. I am listening to my body for signs of ulcers or other problems. I am also trying the liquid Joint Movement products. Pain has always gotten my attention and long term pain is a BIT**. in Houston, TX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
