anyone miss Vioxx, have natural ingred from chiropractor

Yippee....no norco since Monday at 5:30 PM....still doing just fine. The darn thing about it all is that my back hurts a LOT LESS than it did while I was taking it. Who would have figured? I think I got caught up in the "gotta take it or it's gonna hurt" routine initially. Then it got my body hooked. We all know that loop. Anyway, plain ole Alieve makes a world of difference in my back. Now I know if I yank a knot in it doing something I shouldn't I may need more than OTC to get through a tough time but for daily pain this works. But the best thing I think is I returned to my chiropractor after 5 years and told him I really missed my Vioxx. He gave me a list of 4 items from a GNC type store to get that he swears are the same as the Vioxx without the chemicals. I just got them yesterday and will let you know. If anyone wants that list let me know. Anyone can email me at ***@****

It is only getting better. I have not felt this good in 2 years! I just hope I "remember" where it started so I don't overdo and hurt my back side again!
Thank you to EVERYONE for all of the posts that gave me a place to research and know I was not alone.

Hi!  That is great news about the Norco!  Did you have back surgery?

I had a laminectomy 11 weeks ago and am still taking Norco (4 per day),
I think I am having the same expereince as you are.  I also think that I have more leg pain when I take it.  I know I get relief from the Advil Liqui Gels.

I'd be interested in hearing the story about your back pain and if you had surgery or not.

Perhaps I should just stop taking it and stick with the Advil.
