Hello, please ask the doctor about etodolac (it's generic), an NSAID that preferentially combats COX-2. I find it extremely effective without side effects. Other NSAIDs like ones you mentioned were not effective at all and gave me stomach pains.

I found it doing research after my Vioxx was taken off the market. For some reason, most doctors aren't aware of etodolac.

I take it with misoprostol to protect my stomach, because etodolac does reduce COX-1, too. I also take Protonix for my stomach and acid reflux.

Good luck.
