I was on Vioxx till it was pulled. Worked very well but who needs the cardio worries!
Next came Celebrex, worked wonders but I developed an unusual allergy to it, my knees felt great but I was depressed in a big way. Doc took me off the Celebrex and my good humour came back pretty quickly.
Have been taking a daily cocktail of Tia-profenic, Tylenol 3 and Codiene Contin for the last 10 years. Take it at bedtime and I am good for 24 hrs. Miss a day or two and I can hardly walk. Occ. visits to physio help as well.
For many years I was taking Motrin or Naproxen or Voltaren etc, rotted my stomach. Now I take Panteloc and watch my diet best I can. Scope every couple of years to make sure all is well. Fortunately Veterans Affairs Canada takes care of my knee and stomach needs.
