Have a question of your own?  You can submit it here. This months question comes from John Simmonds of Calgary, Alberta in Canada.  "My mother, age 78, was taken off Celebrex and is experiencing significant pain that is not controlled with six Tylenol extra strength and two Tylenol #3 per day. Her doctor won't prescribe Celebrex due to heart concerns. Are there other options?" Response:   Thanks for your great question John. For this months answer we turn to Dr. Monique Camerlain who has more than 30 years of experience in rheumatology. Dr. Camerlain is the author of approximately 100 articles and some 200 medical presentations. Dr. Camerlains response can be found here...

Just For Laughs  :-)   Two patients limp into two differant medical clinics with the same complaint.    Both have hip pain and are having trouble walking and appear to require a hip replacement.   The first patient is examined within the hour, is x-rayed the same day and has a time booked for surgery the following week.   The second patient sees his family doctor after waiting a week for the appointment, then waits another eight weeks to see a specialist, then gets an x-ray which isn't reviewed for another week.  He finally has his surgery scheduled for six weeks from then.   Why the different treatment for the two patients you ask?   Well the first patient is my Golden Retreiver.   The second is my 74 year old father.   Positive Thoughts  :-)   Happiness lies, first of all, in health.     - George William Curtis   He who has health has hope and he who has hope has everything. - Arabian Proverb      Monthly Reader Poll   If you could find a minute to take this poll; it would be of great value to us as we put the results into practice within the content of this site.   Take Quick Poll   Thank you in advance!
