"I have had migraines and irritable bowel syndrome since a child. I have developed curvature of the spine and degenerative discs. Bextra fixed them all. I am now on Percocet since the removal of Bextra. Percocet makes the pain tolerable but never takes the pain away like Bextra did."

"I had pain and swelling in my ankle, from a ladder accident. A podiatrist prescribed Bextra. After 3 days, my scalp developed severe, oozing blisters. I stopped taking Bextra immediately, before any other major reactions occurred. I was lucky it didn't kill me."

"I was in agony for 11 days after my doctor prescribed a muscle relaxer for intense lower back pain. A friend gave me sample packs of Bextra, and the pain was gone within a half day of taking Bextra."

"This Bextra saved my life after a failed gallbladder surgery in 2002. A bile duct was clipped on my pancreas and bile leaked all over for almost 2 days. After a stent was placed in my pancreas, I had life-threatening pancreatitis attacks and was circling the drain, rotating narcotics and Toradol every 4 hours, I was unconscious most of the time. This pain doc said we have this new drug, Bextra, that might help, pill form only. I said anything. I signed the form, and within 24 hours, that was all I took, all the tubes and PICC line removed, and 2 more days later, I was being discharged. I ran out of my stock of 20 mg Bextra in 2009 (they had started to turn a little yellow), but I was on morphine and fentanyl. This drug could solve a major part of the opiate crisis, as it worked like a miracle drug for so many inflammation-related conditions."
