Guest guest Posted February 20, 2003 Report Share Posted February 20, 2003 Arletha Celebrex is an arthritis medication, and worked well for my dad. Also, we had an order for 2 Extra Strength Tylenol as needed. I could always tell when he was in a lot of pain so I would request the Tylenol. At one time the NH had dad on the Tynelol 3 times a day...made him into a zombie. I had it dropped back to " as needed " . He would ball his hands into fists, then stretch them out again, repeating this process...that meant his hands hurt. Also, he would hold his head in his hands, that was a headache. At times, when asked what hurts, I could somewhat make out an " all over " answer. My dad had also taken Ultram for pain, but I wouldn't suggest it. It didn't seem to agree with him, and he was still in pain. I had it tapered off, then we started Celebrex. Let us know how you and Ronnie are doing. My prayers are with you.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 I think some one miss understood about Ronnie. Ronnie still has his good days. They are just getting to have alot of pain with them.And of course it is hard for him to cope.He is in a type of denial? He has pain in the back of his head,in his neck,legs feet.And very bad headaches. then he has the good times too. This why I ask if anyone can tell me whats next. He as i have said before pushes his self to do anything but give uo on life.He got out yesterday and shoveled snow in our alley just so the water would run off the drive. Then he wants to plan things to do and I know he may not beable to do them.Arletha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
