you're lucky you didn't ! Personally, I'm staying away from any non-steroidal anti-inflammatory....considering what has been in the news. I take a pain medication occasionally for osteoarthritis in my hand.

Cynthia, yes I did for 1 years before I stopped when they took it off the market.
I had no effects from it.
I am now taking Celebrex, but they are now making noise about that so I will have to discuss this with my doctor next time I go back to see if there are any altrenatives to this.

Vioxx
I heard on the news this morning that now they say that Vioxx could possibly cause heart problems after taking it for 5 months! I had my first
"problem" should I say, exactly 5 months after starting Vioxx....it was fluid build up but my former cardiologist at the time said she couldn't be certain what caused it since my heart was functioning well.I had never had one previously and not one since I've been off of Vioxx --- got the episode in November 2002 and they took me off Vioxx on Dec. 6, 2002 when I went for an echo. I think it was too coincidental that this occured after being on Vioxx. Has anyone else taken Vioxx???
