So after completely going nuclear on my Orto doctors office today for not filling my prescription of Celebrex without an office visit I was wondering if anyone has heard anything about this. I hear it advertised on the local news radio here but not sure if it is some kind of snake oil that they are pitching to old bast@rds like 90% of this board?
I have a bad knee with multiple tears and was told by the doctor that I would need a knee replacement but he put me on the celebrex and said to wait until I'm 65(I guess you old codgers get knee replacements for next to nothing at that age).
Besides the tears in my knee there is quite a bit of arthritis. After telling them they were just holding my medicine hostage for an office visit fee I told them I was working out of town for the next couple of months and they needed to fill it before I left this weekend. They said no.....So at this point I;m wondering if there is an alternative that I can try.
I have lost 65# in the last 10 months and my knee feels much better but I'm worried about the Arthritis and if it will crop back up once I'm off the medicine. I do take some natural stuff like turmeric, fish oil and other stuff that is supposed to be good for inflammation.
Any advice on this?
