I went to my Rhuemy appt and now he says he does not think it is AS. He said he is sorry if he mislead me. He says he thinks it is deg. joint disease/osteoarthritis. OK....and he also stated that even if it were AS, the treatments are the same anyway. Hmm, all I know is I hurt all the time now and want it to stop. The Arthrotec 75 wasn't working well after about
2 months, DARN! Now I am on Ketoprofen for 2 weeks, and if that doesn't help, then I try Indocin. Anyone familiar with these! So far I am not thinking the Ketoprofen is going to work much. I have been on it 1 1/2 weeks and it is not much different. I also have to take a Prilosec every morning to help protect my stomach. My reg. Dr told me a while back that nearly all of his patient who were treated long term with NSAIDS developed ulcers. UGH! One more problem I do NOT need. I would appreciate any advice or experinces from you that you have. I just want to stop having pain 95% of the time! We even bought a Comfort Select Numbers Bed, which we LOVE.
If the Indocin also does not work then I call him back and see what he suggests. Well, I have rambled enough, thanks for being here
