vioxx

Avatar n tn I had a DVT that went through my heart and into my lungs(PE). A valve was damaged, also one chanber of my heart. My problem is that I wasn't diagnosed as a "heart attack", but rather a "pulmonary embolism", and the lawyers representing me in my vioxx lawsuit say it has to be a heart attack, not a PE. Isn't a heart attack part of a PE? Rather, did I suffer a heart attack as well as a pulmonary embolism?
Avatar m tn t stop the vics), that being aside, you should read the warning leaflet and decide for yourself if the side effects are worth it. I was given vioxx years ago, read the warnings about heart attacks and such, and threw them all in the trash! Not much later it was pulled from the market. If I lost a loved one, $$ isn't going to bring the back anyway, it's all stupid. If I do myself in, I guess I will come back and haunt the manufacturers....BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...........
Avatar n tn I have had three surgeries on my left eye (SLT, filtration, and then lazer cutting of filtration sutures to keep pressures low.), by a well known glaucoma specialist. After each surgery, my vitreous became 'looser' and more floaters erupted. Before each surgery, I asked the surgeon if the procedures would cause vitreous excitation, and each time he said no. Well, not so.

Avatar f tn Perhaps it is time for further investigation to be done with regards to a common denominator in all of these women and tram flap surgery. Could it be the mesh over time affecting the immune system? There has been a recall on surgical mesh. Have these women checked to see what brand/type of surgical mesh has been used? Could the mesh be the culprit of these symptoms?
Avatar f tn While on tramadol I experienced two spontaneous shoulder dislocations, a and one grand-mal seizure.....;;;;and the WORST a complete trimalleolar fracture of my ankle doing a relatively simple jump from less than a foot ( Im a prior marathoner and not some uncooordinated type) .

Avatar m tn I too have used the crest whitening strips. Not too long after using them I begin to notice my two front teeth chipping, and now my two front teeth have basicly chipped all the way off. Before using this product I had no problems with my teeth, they were in perfect condition. The only dental work I had ever had was a small filling about 15 years ago.
Avatar f tn As independent studies started to show a correlation between Vioxx and an increase risk of heart attack and stroke, the NIH funded the VIGOR study I believe in 2001 at the request of the Arthritis Advisory Committee to determine if there was indeed a link. What they discovered was that all NSAIDS increased the risk for heart attack and stroke with Vioxx being the worst.

Avatar f tn Not sure about the lawsuit thing, but definitely go to the doc and get a full exam, that will be crucial if a lawsuit does come up. Plus it will give you a better idea if there is any injury to your baby or the uterus, which may or may not be noticeable until baby is born, depending on the injury.

Avatar m tn I started having stomach pain and thought it might be a recurrence of a ulcer. A CT scan and a HPyloreic test proved this negative. I went back to my Gyn and was given a Transvaginal Ultrasound. Very Painful! Md said that sling was placed right but the vaginal wall was thin and there could be erosion. She gave me Estrogen tabs (vaginal) and told me to come back in a month. Since then I have seen where there is a Class Action Lawsuit against the makers of some of these slings.
Avatar f tn 3 months ago I switched to Nuvaring from the pill. Hubby and I were going to wait until the spring to start ttc. My dr said I could leave my ring in for 4 weeks to avoid my period so technically I haven't had my period since October 9. I have exactly 1 week until I can either take it out for my period or leave it in to avoid it. I have been bloated and hungry all the time. Yesterday I was exhausted after shopping for 2 hours and napped when I woke up I was so nauseous.
