My husband and I have had back problems. Aspirin is insufficient to deal with the pain. I take Naprosyn, he takes Vioxx (soon to run out, needless to say), because nothing else works!! That does it, I'm eating bacon cooked in butter, drinking a few pots of coffee (interspersed with some form of liquor) and taking up smoking. It can't get much worse.

Let me help girlfriend. Try taking 1000 mg Glucosamine a day. It is the best thing you can do for cartilige/joint problems. It rebuilds cartilige. Of course, it takes some time, but be faithful and you will see a difference.

I am blessed to be so healthy, but I'm very glad that I have always refused any medicine that the doctors shove at me. As it turns out, the side-effects of most meds are worse than the ailment they are meant to treat. My doc wants me to take meds for high cholesterol. I've read the warnings on all those meds. Tell me why I should risk liver and kidney disease just to lower something that occurs naturally in my body? I'm never sick and I feel great, so I think it would be foolish for me to take anything chemical. I see my doc twice a year whether I need him or not.
