Hi there,
Yes, I take bextra for my pain. It seems to work very well for me.
There are two different kinds: 10mg and 20mg. I would suggest that you
start with the 10mg just to make sure you know how your body will react
to the drug. It's actually pretty similar to celebrex. (These are both
anti-inflammatories.) Anyway, I would also suggest that you take bextra
with food, just to ensure that your tummy doesn't get upset....good
luck, I hope you feel better soon!
