They say one pill is the equivilent of 10 motrin. Personally, it didn't work for me. And, unfortunately, you can't take more than one pill per day. Have you tried any anti-inflamatories? My doc gave me Vioxx once. It totally killed my pain, but gave me a headache worse than my pain was, so I couldn't keep taking it. Your doc will probably be able to pinpoint some kind of drug you can try based on your requests. When is your appointment? -- Rachel At Wed, 26 Mar 2003, Natalie wrote: > >Hi there, hoping that you ladies can please give me some much needed >advice.
