I am experiencing a great deal of pain in my back, neck, and shoulders. My original surgery was in 1989 for Scheuermann's kyphosis (108'). My curve has now moved up my spine and is quite bad where my neck meets my back. I had always taken ibuprofen for my pain, and naproxen for a little while. Well, it ended up giving me an ulcer. I cannot take ibuprofen without it extremely upsetting my stomach. When I mentioned this to my doc at my last visit, he prescribed Celebrex. Well, it is upsetting my stomach now, too. I have been taking Tylenol, which doesn't do much, and I'm afraid it will damage my liver. I was wondering what else there is to take that is non-narcotic. I teach, and I don't want anything that would impair my ability to do that.
Does anyone have any recommendations of where to go from here?
Thanks,
Allison
