Help! What pain controls do you use?

[Guest guest]

Hi, all!

I don't post often, mostly because I'm too busy to keep up. I have a question

for ya'll, though. My little girl is really having a hard time lately with her

Raynaud's and she's in her first real JRA flare since she's been on Enbrel,

which she started in November 2008. Pretty much from the hip down she's in

pain, with pain coming and going in her arms and mouth. She had been on

Naproxen once upon a time, but because she had blood in her stool back around

11/2008 she's been off of it. She has no current prescription for Naproxen, and

her doctor's office is really horrible at returning calls. (They'll be the

first to tell you that, too.) I've been giving her Motrin, because I have to do

something and I figure she's probably had a long enough time to heal from the

Naproxen issues. We've been doing hot baths and using the heating pad. I was

hoping that maybe there are some other suggestions? I would love something

oral, either natural or not. I would appreciate any and all input.
