I take a very similar set of meds.  I have suffered for years with chronic pain and my doctor added 25mg of Zipsor (anti-infam).  It really makes a difference for me.  When my pain gets really loud I take a Zipsor and it really takes the edge off.  It has really helped me continue to work.  My doc used to prescribe Toradol and it worked great, but because Toradol is so rough on the stomach they  would only prescribe 3 days one time every 3 months.  I am able to take Zipsor every day.  It may help you too.  Good luck.

Not much OTC can help, Tom. If your condition includes inflamation or joint disease, you might try an NSAID like Ibuprofen, but protect your stomach -- take with food.

Good luck.
