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 f tn I figure the kinks are worked out of it. i was on vioxx when it was pulled off the market and they were going to put me on Zelnorm and that got pulled. Just more comfortable with the oldies but goodies.
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 f tn 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.
Avatar n tn [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.

Avatar m tn This group of NSAIDs has the advantage of having fewer gastrointestinal side effects – less abdominal discomfort and less risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, than conventional NSAIDs. There are three different COX-2 inhibitors currently available to the public– Vioxx, Celebrex and Bextra. 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.
Avatar f tn So this morning getting into the car and getting out of the car a had sharp pains in my lower stomach.. I'm just shy of 32 weeks could I have pulled a muscle doing so? I had to cough afterwards and I was in lots of pain.
Avatar f tn I went to the Doctor and was diagnosed with a pulled Groin muscle it has been a couple months now and I am still having alot of groin pain often extending to my vaginal region. Is this related? I'm assuming it is. I am very obese and its very painful to sit. I am doing what I can to lose weight, But this groin pain is going on for so long its awful. I thought i'd pulled a hamstring and waited 6 weeks before I went to Doctor, so this groin pain has been going on for nearly 4 months.

Avatar n tn my molars would be removed surgically- However upon my appointment with the Dental surgeon it was suggested that I not be sedated but given the usual local anesthetic and have my molars pulled... During the procedure the surgeon broke the top off of 3 of the molars- then explained that he was removing the roots.. When it was over he handed me a tissue and sent me on my way with no gauze, no pain script, & no preventitive antibiotic script...

Avatar f tn I got a back tooth pulled monday and its now thursday and still have pain not severe pain but a constant pain if I dont take the pain meds Is this normal and how long should it last?
Avatar n tn It sounds as if you have pulled a muscle in your groin area. This is usually a result of lifting something heavy, lifting akwardly/incorrectly or pushing. Moving is not easy and you may be sore for up to a week. If it is painful to the point of keeping you awake at night, you may be able to have your physician prescribe a light pain killer. Otherwise, when you are resting place a warm compress on your stomach area and take an antiflammatory medication for pain.
