After my rny I was told to not take Arthrotec but I could take Viox. I take one 25 mg. tablet per day. Best to check with your own dr. though

I was on Vioxx, but had to stop taking it because I have a problem with my liver, so now I am taking a new medication call Mobic, it seems to be working very well.

I was taking celebrex pre-surgery for arthritis and it helped my knees 110%! But...can't return to it until 6 weeks post op! But it was a miracle medication for me!
