I could be wrong, but I think Naproxen is just a prescription

strength version of Aleve. It would be like taking 5 aleve or

something like that. I was prescribed that when I had a ruptured

You are right, except it does not have the sodium in it that Aleve does and

for me does not work as well as Aleve

, Naproxen works well for me. I've been taking

it regularly for almost 3 years. Just eat something

before you take it. I take the otc strength 220 mg (2

in the morning and 2 at night)so the dosage is a

little less than prescription strenght but it gives

me the flexibility of adjusting my dosage and

justgoing out and getting it and not needing to call

the Dr. every time I need more. If I'm going to be

driving a distance by myself (2 sometimes makes me a

little sleepy) or having a period with less pain and

inflammation I can take less. Hope it helps you and

that your rheumy i able to get things under control.

Humira is the only drug I am taking for my RA, nothing else! Of course, I only

went undiagnosed for about 6 months before starting Enbrel so perhaps

because it was caught early that I was able to do this?

[Guest guest]

I think many people do well on a biologic

without another DMARD but for others the other DMARD is essential. I do think

that a small dose of Methotrexate might make the Humira or Enbrel work better

and for a longer period before it loses its effectiveness. Of course, any medication

might have some side effects so you need to weigh the possible advantages with

the possible problems. It’s an individual decision and neither way is

going to be right for everyone. However, if you don’t get enough relief

by the biologic alone I do suggest adding another DMARD. God bless.

Med Question

I have a question on

meds. I was recently put on 10mg of prednisone (up

from 5mg) and started Humira, I get my second shot Saturday. My dr.

said that once I got on the Humira to start to taper back off the pred,

which I'm now back down to 5mg a day right now. My question is I will

now be on Mobic and Humira, and she was hoping to get me off the pred

all together within the next two months. Do you think this will be

enough, without a dmard? I've read that most times Humira is used in

conjunction with a dmard?

I was on plaquenil about 18mo which worked wonderfully for me but

suffered from terrible rashes on my face, along with itching. We then

tried mtx, only took two doses and again had a rash reaction. So I had

stopped my meds all together for a variety of reasons and this is our

first attempt at getting me back into control. What do you think?

[Guest guest]

Maybe Arava in conjuction with Humira. If you are rashing, then try what works. Imuran is an old standby as is cyclosporine, but mention them to your RD. Hugs, DeborahOn 5/25/06,

Kristi--

As you said--every one is different.

But here's my story--I started noticing symptoms in my feet in Oct

2004...just put it down to exercising/walking too much.

In April 2005, my ankles began swelling--no pain, just swelling. I

then began having problems with pain in both of my wrists, and I

couldn't completely straighten the long finger out on my right hand.

It wasn't too long before my other fingers and my knees joined the

party as well. By this point, I wasn't moving very well at all. I

had pretty severe morning stiffness, pain in feet, ankles, knees,

wrists, and hands, and was very fatigued at the end of the day.

In July, my PCP prescribed Naproxyn referred me to a Rheumatologist.

I got in to see the Rheummy on August 24. He left me on the Naproxyn

and prescribed Trilisate (which is similar to asprin). He ran tons of

tests--I tested negative for the RA factor, but my ESR rate was just a

little high. Luckily, X-rays didn't show any erosions. After 12

weeks, I went back and my Rheummy put me on Methotrexate and

Leucovorin (Folinic Acid). I started with 10mg of Mtx/wk in November

of 2005. I started noticing minor improvements in just a couple weeks.

In January 2006, my rheummy has increased my MTX to 15 mg/wk. I now am

much better. I still can't make closed fists with either of my hands

and still have pain in my ankles once in a while. (My wedding ring

has been stuck on my finger for about the last year as well--knuckles

still to big to get it off.) But I'm back to working out at the

gym--stairmaster and elliptical machine, as well as doing some light

strength training for my arms. I feel like I'm pretty close to my old

self now.

I go in to see my Rheummy again in August. He's having me get more

x-rays to make sure no erosions are showing up. As long as no

erosions show up on the x-rays, I'll keep on the same path medication

wise. My rheummy did tell me that if he sees evidence of erosions on

my x-rays, he'll push for one of the biologics (probably Enbrel).

I also take a multi-vitamin, calcium and fish oil supplements daily.

I hope you have as much success as I feel I've had. And I feel like

I'm still improving!

Good luck

Everybody is different, and every drug is different. I you start on Prednsone

you can often feel the difference overnight. Unfortunately this is not a drug

you can take for very long. They often prescribe this with other drugs to give

the other drug like mtx time to start working and then ween you off the

prednsone. in WI

Hi ,

If you go to the " Links " section toward the bottom you will find a

link to the 2006 American Chronic Pain Assoc. document that lists

pretty much all the formulations for pain. You will see that they

list Mobic for use just in arthritis, where other NSAIDS may be more

efficacious for inflammation too. Anyway, it might be a handy

document to have on hand if you want to talk over other choices.

Before surgery I went from Vioxx to Bextra to Celebrex, and found the

Celebrex worked the best for me. It didn't stop the pain completely

but it did take the " edges off " . (I remember talking to a Rand

patient before surgery who said they had good luck on Feldene, which

I think fell out of favor once Vioxx and Bextra hit the market...).

The hysteria over prescription opiates in this country is really

something isn't it? Until they come up with something better, for a

lot of us it will be a way of life. Why is it so hard to get our

PCP's to understand? Do you have a choice in docs? Perhaps you might

do better with someone with more specialized interest in chronic pain?

Good luck!

[Guest guest]

Dear ,

While I didn't take Mobic, there has been a lot of talk about it in the past, from the site you might put Mobic into the messages box and read what members have said on it. I did take Celebrex, did nothing for me, and then Vioxx, worked much better, but only took the edge off. I used Vicodin only on REALLY bad days, worked well for me. I had taken Feldene in the past, also worked very well, but I had a huge weight gain on it, 20 lbs in two months.

You might suggest to your doc a pain management consultation, between my first and second revision, one of my doc's suggested it for me if I wanted to hold off on the second revision for awhile. While I didn't want to wait, was glad he suggested it. It seems like many PCP's aren't good with dealing with cronic pain, and would be relieved to hand it over to a pain management doc. Just another idea to try.

[ ] med question

Hi everyone! I hope you're all doing well!Has anyone here taken Mobic? My PCP recently refused to refill my vicodin (which I was needing to increase the dosage anyways, but I hadn't even mentioned that to her) and doesn't seem to want to prescribe me anything stronger, despite the letter in my file from my flatback doctor describing the condition and possible revision surgery. Anyways, she prescribed me the NSAID Mobic to try. I've been on it a week and it hasn't seemed to do anything. Is this a med that I need to take for a while before it starts working? The product literature said not to take ibuprofen while on Mobic, so I've been trying to "supplement" it with tylenol to take care of my backpain, but that's not really working either. Any thoughts...? I see the surgeon again next week and I'll ask him as well obviously.Thanks for any input!

[Guest guest]

Dear Cena,

I'm four years post -op and yes my sleep paterns did change, and not for the good, but I'd also tend to think with me it's part of Peri-menopause that kicked in with a vengence after the surgery. I just deal with it, hopefully won't last forever, and don't take anything for it. I'm generally up at 4 a.m., thank goodness I've found good early morning news programming on MSNBC. I just can't seem to sleep beyond the 4a.m. waking I do, even though I sure would like to. I also have a lot of trouble falling asleep. I also believe that since turning over in bed is more of a struggle, it tend to wake me up. So to get around it I nap, thank goodness I'm a stay at home Mom. I nap at around 10a.m. after all my house work is done. I try not to let it go beyond an hour. I'm usually off to bed around nine, and up at 4a.m.. Not perfect but I hope that when this whole CHANGE thing is over I'll sleep better.

[Guest guest]

It was - and is - very specifically for ensuring I get a decent night's sleep that I take opiates at night. Along with my GP we've decided it is much the lesser of the evils - not taking anything means I end up not sleeping well, and over a period of days my pain builds up to the point where instead of taking nothing at all during the day I'm having to take loads of painkillers all day as well as at night to get back in advance of the pain. The alternative would be sleeping pills, and they're happier to have me on a low dose of opiates.

Regarding NSAIDs, I was initially on diclofenac sodium, which helped in the early stages, but reached a point where I just wasn't getting much benefit and in fact was getting rebound pain. Basically I discovered that if I forgot to take my morning dose, I actually felt better during the morning, although by the time it got to lunchtime I'd go downhill quite rapidly and feel like hell with the pain shooting up - taking it then would bring the pain back down, but the fact that there was this rebound was most disturbing - it seemed it kept me on a level of mediocrity somehow, so there weren't the spikes, but I just wasn't happy that taking it was clearly actually making me unwell no matter that it was helping with the pain - and in any case, my condition had deteriorated, so that I'm sure was part of the reason it wasn't working so well any more. I was then swapped onto Naproxen, which was initially effective on the back pain, but had no effect whatsoever for some reason on my neck pain, which got to quite distressing levels. I then tried ibuprofen myself, and found that at the maximum dose it was at least as effective on back pain and did help the neck. I also discovered that while it said on the bottle not to take more than 1200mg/day, for arthritis it is prescribed at up to 2400mg/day - my GP prescribed it for me and I remained on it until having revision done, by which point I was taking the maximum 2400mg/day and had been for over a year.

The NSAIDs were never a full answer for me. They knocked the roughest edges off and I'm sure they maintained what shreds of sanity I still had through the pain by the end of it, and allowed me to keep my consumption of opioids to as small an amount as I could - bearing in mind the absolute lack of pain control after my first surgery, I was terrified of being on large doses and my pain being totally uncontrolled again after the revision. By the time revision rolled round, in addition to the 2400mg/day of ibuprofen I was taking 8 co-dydramol (totalling 4g paracetamol & 80mg dihydrocodeine) and at breaking point with the level of pain that accompanied every waking moment. At that, they did comment on it being much harder to control my pain after surgery than it was for many adults, because I'd been on such a high dose of painkillers before - the morphine had a lot of making up to do for even the ibuprofen.

NSAIDs definitely have their place, and with things like stenosis will actually (potentially at least) have effects that the opioids can't. That said, since revision, other than occasionally for headaches and the like I have not taken any. I've essentially sworn off them and am willing to do major battle with any doctor who suggests I should go back on them instead of the frankly mild doses of opiate that I take. There's several reasons for this, not least I just feel that my kidneys cannot cope - I've had bouts of kidney stones, and also NSAIDs can in some people raise the blood pressure. My blood pressure has finally been back down around decent-ish levels the last couple of years, and with my family history the last thing I need is to have it continue to be raised - persistent 140/95 is quite bad enough thank you. The other thing I find is that NSAIDs do have mental effects on me - my concentration levels are absolutely rubbish on persistent large doses, and this is something that wears off with opioids, but does not with the NSAIDs. All in all, I honestly believe it is better for my health to take opioids, but at the same time I'm firmly convinced that finding an effective (well, to the small degree it was able to be effective) NSAID was what kept me working, maintained my sanity and also meant that my pain wasn't totally out of control after surgery.

Hi :

My PCP had me on NSAID Mobic and even when I stayed on it for a

while it didn't do much for me. However, someone else that I know

uses it and it works great for her. This makes me believe that it

works differently for each individual.

Good luck finding something to help you very soon.

HI ,

I used Mobic for a while, until I noticed stomach pain. It didn't do much to help back pain anyway. My suggestion would be to see a pain management doc. Good luck.
