--- Anyone else have this Cox-2 side effect?
Hi Katherine, No, I do not have that kind of reaction to NSAIDs and I have not read that reaction to them except for when a person is having a acid reflux type thing going on. The raw throat and/or mouth can be a sign of this. Always take it with food and not right before you lay down for sleep. It is something to talk to your doctor about.

Yeah, I talked to the doctor, he just kind of shrugged and said, we'll try something else if you want. I've had reflux in the past, this isn't that, it actually feels more like a strange reaction I had once when I had the flu. It was just kind of odd, and I wondered, since Vioxx and Bextra are used so often for arthritis, whether anyone here had run into it, too. Katherine
hi kw unfortunately, the cox-2's do have a long list of 'poss.' side effects - including: dry mouth, gum/tooth irritation, reflux, esophagitis, esophageal perforation, and gastric ulceration. there are others, but these are the ones that might be the cause of your problems. these occur in 2 - 6.3 % of all patients. be well paul Katherine Wolfe wrote: > Hi Guys - > > I was prescribed Vioxx, and then Bextra, for a flare-up in my neck/shoulder > last month.

The reaction that I have is swelling in my legs; rather extreme, actually. My doctor said I am allergic to anti-inflamatories, so am stuck with OTC which do not help my pain. I love the way I feel on Vioxx or Bextra, no pain, but I look awful - all swollen.
