Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / January 2005OAs classed as DJDD
Hello, Any of you with OA and have been classed as DJDD have you been subscribed Avinza? If so how did it work for you? I'm having some good and some badreactions to this stuff. I would appreciate feedback. Butch Magee Haven't taken that and don't know what DJDD is either...

(Spinal OA of sorts) I was thinking he added "J" for "joint" (not the kind people smoke). <g> Oh ok...I have DDD. (I bet that extra "j" would make me feel better! ROFL) Let me go back and reply to him. Janet R | Janet wrote to Butch Magee: | | > Do you mean DDD? Degenerative Disc Disorder? (Spinal OA of sorts) | | I was thinking he added "J" for "joint" (not the kind people smoke). <g> Hi Butch... I have DDD (which I believe we are talking about the same thing -- osteoarthritis of the spine) There are others here with much more knowledge then I have on that subject. I take Methotrexate, Plaquenil, and Prednisone for arthritis control. I use Ultracet for pain. I have other condition besides DDD and see an RD every 3 weeks....but I have not heard of Avinza. I used to take Bextra...but they pried my stash out of my monkey-fingered hands and said "NO MORE"...(can you tell I am still having a little attitude about that?) Tell us what type of drug Avinza is and how it is working for you. Janet R | Hello, | [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] | | Butch Magee I also have that...But most of the drugs help about as much as an aspirin...I also have Fibromyalgia and I take Lortab for pain..Suppose to take the Bextra, but like I said, I could tell nada difference and for the cost and side effects, it wasn't worth it...I take plain old IBuprofen which is hard on the stomach, but I think it leaves my heart alone and really doesn't do that much anyways... Hugs Cindy > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Butch Magee > Suppose to take the Bextra, but like I said, I could tell nada > difference...(editted)...I take plain old IBuprofen..... I was taking Indocine - Rx strength of Ibuprofen - from 1977 until switching RD in 2000. The first thing he did was write a 'script for Bextra - no difference. Then it was Celebrex - no difference. Next, Flexeral (sp), which caused my skin to split in several places as if a razor had slashed it. That was the ONLY time I've had a negative reaction to a drug. Nowadays, a few studies seem to bear out that OTC's are as good as the later, more expensive, prescription drugs. I agree. When Alleve first came out...I took it not knowing it was an NSAID. It worked better than Rx I had previously taken. I had reactions within a few days and my docs explained to me that Alleve was naprosyn. But for those few days it worked great! When my gout acts up or my shoulders begin screaming loudly...I take a 3 day course of Alleve or Indocine. I cannot do it very often, but it works quite nicely.
