Guest guest Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 Pam's right! There's published papers supporting this. I read them early in my adventure and conversely - my early AVN was halted and the bone has continued to improve (but alas the cartilage is gone and isn't coming back). The moral is - all of you out there should find another way to deal with the pain. NSAID's are not good. Acetominaphen doesn't have the same problems so far as I know, but it's bad on the liver if you take it habitually. I stick with cod liver oil and glucosamine sulfate. They work well.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 DeSmet wants you to stop ibuprofen because it is an NSAID, and he has seen that the effect of these is to further soften the bone. Tylenol or Vicodin is ok to take, just ask him. Mobic, celebrex and the like fit into this category also. Isara RBHR 7-3-02 > > > Anton, > > > > > > See ya in Belgium in Late September.
