...What a contrast to my next patient. Sean is half Bob's age. He weighs less, isn't as active, and has nice straight legs. Barely a trace of arthritis on X-ray and nothing except "minimal arthritic changes" on his MRI. He has taken Advil, Naprosyn, Voltaren, Celebrex with minimal help. Injections into his knees of hyaluronic acid (a component of joint fluid) and corticosteroids provided only a few weeks of relief. Physical therapy, braces, acupuncture, yoga all failed. He couldn't get out of chairs, couldn't climb stairs because of the pain. There was one thing left...
...medical student when it was pulled off the market because of side effects, but I clearly remember patients with broken legs or fresh post-ops who were treated for pain with Zomax alone. They were nearly pain-free and clear as a bell with no narcotic drowsiness. This "super Advil " worked along the same chemical pathways as all the other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs - just better. And it seemed to take away arthritis pain almost completely, making symptomatic cases asymptomatic for eight hours at least...
...told Eddy he should get over the sprains within a few weeks and recommended anti-inflammatory medication like Advil or Aleve, some rest and then gradual resumption of work. He really didn't want to hear this and insisted he could never work with so much pain. I never actually said "I think you're acting", but he didn't come back after two more visits (with reports of worse pain at each...
...Percentage drop in the occurrence of ovarian cancer in women who regularly take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as Advil or Aleve, according to a new study in Epidemiology. Aspirin users had the lowest risk--37% lower than that of nonusers...
...Pfizer's move is a dramatic one, but it's also an important one-and not just for Big Pharma's balance sheets. In the wake of the Vioxx withdrawal, many arthritis sufferers have turned to drugs in the ibuprofen and naproxen families, such as Advil and Aleve. But earlier this year the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that those drugs may also carry cardiovascular risks; in any event, for some people they just don't pack the same pain-relieving punch. Others patients are relying on oxycontin and morphine-based medications, which may not endanger the cardiovascular system...
