| 5 | osteoarthritis | heartburn | I was taking 50 milligrams per day because I was in so much pain, but after 3 months something showed up on my blood test for my kidneys and I had to stop a week and take new blood test and it was from the vioxx. My doctor decreased dosage to 25 milligrams and all is well. | F | 55 | 6 months | 8/26/2002 | 4 | Car accident/Severe Whiplash | None that I have noticed/I am only 26 years old | The first week virtually nothing helped (not even a Lortab 10) the pain it was very severe, but the second week the vioxx helped a lot. | F | 26 | 2 weeks | 8/23/2002 | 3 | chronic pain, menstral cramps | none | It was like taking a sugar pill as far as back pain, its great for really bad doubling over period cramps. | F | 21 | 20 times | 8/13/2002 | 5 | arthritis pain | I experienced a significant weight gain within one month. | I feel I need to stop taking Vioxx, but without it I'm in a lot of pain. | F | 49 | 1 months | 8/2/2002 | 1 | chest wall pull | chest pain, breathing trouble, panic attacks. | F | 44 | 5 days | 7/31/2002 | 3 | Back Pain | Gastrointestinal Problems | It didn't help me unless i took 50 MG, and they told me i could onlydo that for 5 days at a time and then i had to not use it for a month, but at 50 MG it works pretty good. | M | 21 | 1 years | 7/11/2002 | 5 | dental pain | no side effect | the best thing in rofecoxib is the rapid onset of action n.b. i take generic of rofecoxib in egypt called romacox 25mg it is very good and have economic price | M | 24 | 5 days | 7/7/2002 | 1 | Ostoearthritis | HALLUCINATIONS, and STOMACH PAIN | I think I said all there is for me to say.

Only relief of relentless pain. | I believe Vioxx far outweighs the ever popular drug Celebrex. Unfortunately, I have an HMO and they won't pay for Vioxx and I'm on disability and can't afford it. My doctor gives me samples when he has them. If he doesn't I just suffer in pain until he gets more samples. I get immediate relief the very next day. | F | 49 | 1 months | 4/3/2002 | 1 | Causes Severe Internal Bleeding. | I take 2 - 3 units of body every 2 weeks because I bleed internally. | F | 59 | 180 days | 1/13/2002 | 5 | 2 herniated lumbar discs | thirsty, dry eyes | leaves me virtually pain free | F | 48 | 1 years | 11/19/2001 | 4 | Arthritis | Had to discontinue use due to severe throat swelling, hoarsness, difficulty swallowing | If not for the side effects I had I would still be taking Vioxx | M | 67 | 15 months | 8/7/2001 | 4 | arthritis | I have noticed that my leggs are swelling some.
