My ankles swell more when I take the Vioxx. It is a major side effect. Which

anti-inflamatory are you on. I've been also taking Enbrel for almost 3

months and so far my ankles still swell pretty bad.

Editors Note: Vioxx has a nasty side effect of severe fluid retention and

ankle swelling. Anyone with heart problems should NOT ever take Vioxx.

I have been on Celebrex, and I believe Celebrex does the same. I am actually

trying Vioxx right now (free samples) but looks like I should switch back to

Celebrex.

Thanks for the info!
