Mag ... I agree that VIOX can be a wonderful drug. The last 18 months before my surgery, I was doing it all ... everything that the Doctors and I could come up with. I did all the drugs, I did massage, I did P.T., Chiropratic, I even tried flapping a white bedsheet in the backyard during a full moon. (That actually helped a bit). But you're Doctor is quite correct. Some of these new medicines van be deadly if your are not careful. Bob
