Bextra from Pfizer is a new drug you might want to look into. I would experiment with bromelain, papaya, and other sesquiterpone containing substances like hyssop, willow bark, ginger, turmeric, grapeseed, boswellia, devils claw, silk worm enzyme, and Arnica montana. Beneficial against inflammation are colorful fruits and vegetables, oily fish and certain nuts, seeds, herbs and spices such as ginger, and also omega-3's. Topically applied capsaicin may be effective, as well as internal quercetin, Vitamin C, vitamin D, apples, onions, sylimarin, catuaba, Cetyl myristoleate, curcumin and pomegranate. It might help to take vegetable oils out of your diet, with the exception of soy and olive oil. PUO's such as margarine create inflammation reactions. ************************************************** Regarding all NSAIDs: Use with caution in: # A type of life long inherited blood disease caused by a defect in the liver (hepatic porphyria) # Asthma or history of asthma # Bleeding tendencies # Blood clotting disorders # Blood disorders # Crohn's disease # Current or previous heart failure # Current or previous high blood pressure # Decreased heart function # Decreased kidney function # Decreased liver function # Elderly people # Inflammation of the bowel and back passage # People who have recently had major surgery # People with symptoms of stomach or intestinal disorders Not to be used in # Bleeding from the stomach or intestines or a history of this # Current or previous peptic ulcer # People in whom aspirin or other medicines in this class (NSAIDs), cause attacks of asthma, itchy rash (urticaria) or nasal inflammation (rhinitis) # Suspected peptic ulcer This medicine should not be used if you are allergic to one or any of its ingredients.
