Reply #33: No, a generic anti-inflammatory drug...

Was on Celebrex for awhile, but now its Piroxicam, which is MUCH cheaper, 5 bucks a bottle, taken once a day. If I took Vicodin I would be unconscious for a few days, anytime I take drugs from that family I pass out for a few days, don't ask me why. By the way, the test I get to take is similar to a EKG hence why I put a * in the middle. I forget the damned letter at the moment, but its like EMG or something. Its just to figure out where the nerve is pinched, and is cheaper than an MRI, so the docs will know where to cut into my shoulder. I heard that shoulder surgeries are "tight" I guess is the word, everything being so close together that exploratory surgery would cause a LOT of damage. Docs really want the MRI, but I don't have insurance for this thing, so I'm up shit's creek, so to speak. I've had this for a little less than a year now, and to be honest, its freakin annoying and scary, my doctor told me that if I don't get it fixed I may lose the use of my arm entirely, I would prefer to have it cut off if that happened.
