jumpjunkie2004 0 #1 June 21, 2006 I've been trying to avoid taking it because I've heard that once I start I will have to continue. I've got all sorts of wicked arthritis. Instead of taking it, I've been staying active and taking ibuprofen when I'm in major pain. Anyone out there taking it? Is maximum relief just a couple of pills away?Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...

It worked really well relieving the artho pain. Heres the bad part....it has some signifigant side effects....one of which it can cause rapid weight gain, as it did to me. I had to quit it and go back on the pain meds cuz I couldnt control the weight . If you can deal with the side effects it does the job on arthritis bozo bozo Pain is fleeting. Glory lasts forever.

d_squared431 0 #3 June 21, 2006 Just get a script for it. The stuff works really good if used properly. I have used it for several things over the years and don't have any complaints. I only take it occasionally and not on a daily basis.TPM Sister#130ONTIG#1 I love vodka.I love vodka cause it rhymes with Tuaca~LisaH You having a clean thought is like billyvance having a clean post.iluvtofly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jumpjunkie2004 0 #4 June 21, 2006 I just lost a bunch of weight - and being thinner actually helps my lower back arthritis. I don't want to gain it back!!! Taking it as you suggested - occasionally - might be the way for me to go. I have the prescription - I've just been holding out. I figured I'd start taking it when I couldn't get out of bed and stand up. I haven't reached that stage yet, but my ankles are killing me.Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...

d_squared431 0 #5 June 21, 2006 I work in a medical office that has several patients who use it and this is the first I have heard about weight gain. Remember with injuries you do gain weight from not being active. The people in our office are actually pretty thin that take it on a daily basis for arthritis. Talk to you PCP about the side effects.TPM Sister#130ONTIG#1 I love vodka.I love vodka cause it rhymes with Tuaca~LisaH You having a clean thought is like billyvance having a clean post.iluvtofly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Worked great! The only draw-back was having to go to the clinic for blood work. One of the side-effects is possible liver damage. After losing weight and working out for over three years, the doc took me off of Celebrex. I also have arthritis. I take Glucosamine (500 mil) with Chondroitin (400 mil), twice a day.
