Experiences with

Etoricoxib

I have been on 25mg MTX now for almost a year along with hydroxychloroquine, etoricoxib and folic acid. I have had stomach issues (acid) and the high dose of omeprazole caused chronic stomach pains, diarrhoea etc.

My current medications are as follows. 25mg Oxycodone daily 300 Gabapentin daily 25mg Amitriptyline daily Despite the above, i am in constant pain Someone has recommended Etoricoxib, does anyone have any experience of this drug?

I've had a steroid jab, and a course of steroids plus etoricoxib but can't seem to get back to where I was. My hip is giving me a lot of problems I'm not sure whether to ask for a guided injection in my hip.

Can anyone help me, does anyone know if Etoricoxib works straight away or does it take a time to work, taken it for 2 days still many swollen joints my whole being hurts, thanks everyone who replied to my last message Kate x

I went to AE and was prescibeEtorcoxib , the main problem l have is in my knee, lve had pain with flares before, but nothing like this , it seems to lock mornings are bad getting out of bed , l have no pain when sitting down, lm having a flare at , no meds for 2 months waiting to go new meds., steroid

He didn’t even know about the paper written by the BRI team (Quick & Kirwan, 2012) He also put me on Etoricoxib last year that caused vaginal bleeding and I had to go through the whole womb cancer check drama for them to thankfully conclude that it had been caused by the Etoricoxib.

So i rushed to a urologist nearby and he has given some medicines(Etoricoxib Thiocolchicoside and Paracetamol aceclofenac) . After having 3 doses of it he is now felling ok today . Can someone please help from their experience if it is Pain from Bone metastasis or some muscle pain .

I have tried etoricoxib and celecoxib to see if this helps with the joint pain, but neither did anything. I was on naproxen until yesterday.

Hi how fast acting is this drug please I've been prescribed it today took it when I got home at tea time does it take a while to kick in .

She has had me reduce the pred quicker than I would have preferred, and added in an anti inflammatory (first Naproxen and now etoricoxib) to help me off the pred. She then booked me in for an MRI scan of spine and pelvis prior to which I had to be on no meds for 4 days.

I want to know at what stage I should get more than painkillers (currently on etoricoxib as needed which does help and may be all i need for now, but i worry about disease progression).

Due to my other medical issues I can’t take any NSIADS including: ibuprofen, naproxen, diclofenac, celecoxib, mefenamic acid, etoricoxib & indomethacin. I normally take just cocodamol and rest when having bad flare ups. Along with expensive medical patches to sooth the areas.

I have been on butec slow release patches for around 6 months, along with dihydracodine and etoricoxib. I am now on oral morphine and just feel terrible. If my pain is manageable I feel hungover, nauseous and am awake all night but tired all day.

If I take pankillers recent one prescribed Etoricoxib it dulls the pain but I have to take most days. I have been trying to get some help I have an appointment this month. I have read lots of articles and called versus arthritis. I am also now logging my pain.

I am taking etoricoxib but it hasn't worked either. have a nice day

Was admitted to hospital last June and was taken off naproxen and put on etoricoxib because of evidence of past stroke on scan. Last year was a roller coaster. Now have been diagnosed with AF and on apixaban and bisoprolol and am only allowed paracetamol or co-codamol which isn’t managing the pain.

I take etoricoxib. Does anybody else feel like this please

I got a new rheumatologist who upped me to top dose methotrexate plus etoricoxib and amitripylene for pain management. A couple of months on I am pain-free and I am grateful for this every day.

Wimpfheimer coauthored a study published in 2010 in Headache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain about the effect of the drug etoricoxib (similar to ibuprofen) on a fasting-related headache commonly called “Yom Kippur Headache” or “First-of-Ramadan Headache.”

Is that a side effect of Etoricoxib? How quickly should I notice an improvement with Etoricoxib? It doesn’t sound like a very nice drug and I’m inclined to stop taking it as soon as possible if it’s not helping. Thank you
