Vioxx was withdrawn from the market in 2004 due to heart/stroke issues. I doubt you can even get it, but if for some reason it id given to you, ask for something different.
I know a couple of other people who have gout with no rise in uric acid. So yes, it probably is best to just go ahead and get treated if your doctor agrees. I assume you've probably already been to the doctor by now. Hope it's cleared up. That pain can be brutal!
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...........
There was no money exchanged or special consideration given to get Vioxx on the market. However, Vioxx is a good example of a study not digging deep enough into long term effects of a new drug. Vioxx was introduced in 1999 and was originally thought of as a treatment for polyps in the intestinal track.
However, some NSAIDs are more hepatotoxic than others. NSAIDs presently on the market that have been frequently associated with liver injury are aspirin (ASA), diclofenac (Voltaren), and sulindac (Clinoril).

A new generation of NSAIDs, known as the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors, has recently been approved by the FDA.

COX-2 inhibitors have been associated with some liver dysfunction, although not as commonly as other NSAIDs. Recently, Vioxx has been removed from the market due to heart-related problems. Celebrex and Bextra are currently being investigated for similar heart-related toxicities.
It is recommended that people with liver disease avoid using all NSAIDs.

o and my urine was 300 with 1+ blood in my urine. My lower back hurts mildy but since he put me on cipro 250mg eery twelve hours x 10 days the pain have subsided. Could this mean I have something wrong with my kidney's such as kidney failure. The doctor said it was a kidney and bladder infection. What do you think. I am on synthroid 112 daily for hyperthroidism.
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.
[2] A series of small-scale studies completed in Germany found that H. procumbens was indistinguishable from Vioxx in the treatment of chronic low back pain,[3] and was well-tolerated after more than four years of treatment of H. procumbens alone.[4] H. procumbens also seems efficacious in the treatment of arthritis-caused hip and knee pain.
Currently, there are no HCV nucleoside/tide inhibitors approved for the treatment of chronic HCV infection. We continue to work closely with the FDA on the development and regulatory review of PSI-7977, which has demonstrated compelling antiviral activity, a high barrier to resistance and has been generally well-tolerated in clinical trials to date.

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?
sooner or later you will be bone on bone, which is unstable and painfull. your other option might be to do a nerve block on the effected nerve roots. i dont agree with the #4 response if they are talking about fusion. with a discectomy i would however agree. i'm not a doctor but had 10mm bulge L5-S1, L4-L5 3mm bulge with anular tear, Degenerative disc disease. curious what your doctor would say. most of what you have had done is considered conservative treatment.

Yes I have we lived in California and moved to Florida we were away 3 years then came back, but we are going to move again in the next year or two depending on the housing market etc. California is a big mess now at least where I am living it is,and will get worse next year,.It sounds like for you its the right move as you have families you miss ,so good for you, you will be glad you made that decision, were you both on the same page ?

You are correct in stating that recent research has shown that certain inflammatory molecules have been implicated in the processes occurring within a cavernous angioma.
