I'm taking Bextra right now and it seems to be working really well. No stomach upset. I don't know if this is normal for most people, but it did take about three or four days to kick in.
Glad to hear that it's helping. I can really tell a difference too. I have felt better than I have in quite some time. Hope it continues to help you too!!
Hi,
The doc put me on Bextra yesterday. I had my foot and ankle x-rayed because of the severe ache and pain. Will find out the results today. I already have stomach trouble that is undiagnosed as of yet. I have'nt taken one of the Bextra yet-am almost scared to. Can you have stomach trouble along with arthritis?
Thanks for any replies. Hope you are all doing well.

I have had diarea since I began the Bextra, Arthrotec, Zoloft regime so i don't know which one is causing the diarea. I was just reading on the CBS Homepage about Bextra causing some kind of rash on people with allergy to sulfer. I haven't had any problems with rashes or anything, and I am glad to say have felt much better on these meds than I did on the methotrexate regime. Good luck and let me know how you are doing!!
I have been on Arthrotec for about 3 years now. I am still in a lot of pain but when I run out and don't manage to refill the prescription in time I sure do notice the difference. As far as I can tell I have no side effects. Most of the side effects listed I have on a regular basis and have had long before this med so it doesn't have anything to do with that. I hope it helps you.
