Anti-inflammatories and Vioxx

I have a bad case of plantar facitis that is *slowly* getting better, I think. Prior to surgery I used to use ibuprofen to keep the pain in my foot manageable, and tylenol just doesn't cut it. My surgeon suggested getting a scrip for Vioxx from my GP. Does anyone else use Vioxx or any other anti-inflammatory that they think works well and doesn't hurt their pouch? Right now the foot pain is really limiting the amount of exercise I can do! Tracy

dear tracy about 3 weeks out, the area around my left incision was really bothering me, the PA prescribed CELEBREX and within 2 days i felt great. the celebrex has not bothered my pouch at all. i also have plantar fascitis and bone spurs so i know how you feel. have you had any physical therapy? that has helped me in the past. best of luck to you lilykate

Hi Tracy, I use Vioxx and it works wonders,,I usually take them at night and I sleep like a baby,, good luck and hope you feel better, Diana
