It is the last remaining drug of it’s type, that used to include Vioxx (rofecoxib) and Bextra (valdecoxib). Vioxx and Bextra have been withdrawn from the market because studies have shown that they increased the risk of heart attack, stroke and serious stomach and intestinal bleeding. Celebrex is still available, but its label is being revised to highlight the potential for these risks. If you are taking Celebrex, talk to your doctor about whether you should continue or switch to another medication.Glucosamine and ChondroitinGlucosamine and Chondroitin are not drugs. They occur naturally in our bodies and are important for proper cartilage and joint function. Chondroitin helps to form and replace collagen in our cartilage. Glucosamine works alongside chondroitin to help in the production of collagen.I have used these natural compounds for a few years during the height of my back problems. Despite my belief in their benefits, I really never saw any proof that they helped me at all. I did notice the expensive price of quality glucosamine and chondroitin supplements though... Warnings for Pain Management DrugsI think it is obvious, but I will say it anyway. Drugs are basically BAD FOR YOU. They have known and unknown side effects and can be addictive. It is unwise to become dependent on any form of symptomatic treatment for chronic back pain. Dependency on pain management drugs is one of the worst addictions to overcome. Here is some additional information on the dangers of prescription pain killers.If you need pharmaceutical pain relief, use it wisely and only short term. Remember, these drugs will ONLY CONTROL YOUR SYMPTOMS and will do nothing at all to CURE your back problem. If you rely on these drugs for long term relief, you WILL BECOME ADDICTED. The only thing worse than having bad back pain is… having bad back pain and being a drug addict as well. PLEASE DON’T ABUSE THESE PAIN MANAGEMENT DRUGS !!!
