Still no word from DHB. The way things are in the hospital world it could be a bit of a wait. Have you had any luck yet with your hip, OHH?
I am doing a home experiment at present. I have found some Voltaren 75SR tablets from last episode in cupboard. and am trying them out. from previous experience they are a bit harder on the body than Celebrex but worth a go. Taking one in morning for a few days and it seems to have more effect than Celebrex. Tomorrow I will try what I was on for my first hip which was 1 in morning with breakfast and one at night with dinner. I am also on Omeprazole so that should help. I will stay on that for a week then I have to see Dr, for regular checkup. If my trial of taking 2/day has made a difference, I will talk to her about it. My previous Dr. (who retired) was OK with me taking them but insisted on taking a break off them at regular intervals.
