They last 24 hours, are quite a bit stronger than ibuprofen, but they won't make you loopy like opiates will. You might ask your doctor if he feels it's appropriate for you to try a COX-2 AI, and if so, whether he has any samples you can try to see if it would work for you. Katherine

Using chondroitin and MSM in addition to the glucosamine seems to help a lot of people. Vitamin World, a chain store, has a liquid form ("Joint Maintenance"??) that some people swear by. Other stores probably have an equivelent product. The NSAID's (Aspirin, Celebrex, Ibuprofen, etc) actually increase inflamation or at least allow the inflamation to continue unabated, although they can relieve pain for a while. The quantity of Ibuprofen you're taking could lead to internal bleeding. If you have bruising on your arms, it's already happening.
