Avatar n tn She is 64 but she also has osteoporosis and arthritis in her lower back. The back doctor just prescribed Celebrex, is this the safest drug for her? Also what should people with Hep C do to better care for their liver eventhough so far she seems to have a healthy liver. For the osteoporosis she is on Fosamax. She has been on it for several years. I am just afraid that too many potent drugs can be harmful for her liver.
Avatar f tn I have been prescibed Celebrex for osteoarthris pain. Can it be taken every day for long term management of arthritis.
Avatar n tn Mal-Practice Lawyers usually work on a portion of the settlement. A settlement is better than nothing. Of course, once you have taken an aggressive action against a Doctor, it is difficult to get another one to risk fixing your problem... because they don't want to get sued either. Tough nut to crack... Try communicating with him first and see what happens. Good luck.
Avatar f tn BUT, im mad because i know the dr will tell my dad. And, i cant have that. I dont want my family knowing. Do i have any course of a lawsuit? What do i do?

Avatar m tn If you have a strong enough case then some lawyers will wait to get paid until your lawsuit is over. I believe they call it consignment? I'm not sure if that is the right word.

I truley am sorry for your lose, naleca and i know it will be a brutal process so the question is, Is it worth fighting for. That is totally up to you.

I have a work injury to R. Knee. W/C paying. Neck injury in 11/07. Denied since I had neck surgery in '98 Crazy huh? I am in the same boat as you. I was wondering what the settlement for knee injury wit a % perm disability raring.

Avatar n tn My salary was about 90k/year and the settlement will easily replace that; even if I go back to work, I still collect it and the settlement is written so that the decision can't be appealed.

Do I sound like I'm gloating? Maybe, a little...
