Arthritis
in its many forms (rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, psoriatic
arthritis, juvenile, etc.) is a debilitating problem for millions
of people around the world. The problem is so widespread that
an organization, the arthritis foundation, was created to help
educate and find causes and hopefully a cure for the disease.
Many suffer from joint pain and discomfort in their ankle, knee,
hip, shoulder or many other places in their body. Early diagnosis
of the condition is always good good. Sufferers seeking relief,
remedies, and treatments will find no shortage of ways to deal
with the degenerative and chronic symptoms... (continued after

Lawsuits seem to show that the side effects of prescription arthritis medication can be quite severe in some cases, even life threatening. It seems this is important to consider these issues when deciding on possibly using natural remedies or supplements as an alternative to prescription drugs.
Arthritis Medication - Recalled Pain Reliever - Bextra – Remains a Hot Issue for Consumers and Lawyers as Lawsuits Add Up
by Tracy Laxdal
To support those adversely affected by the pain medication, Bextra, LawyersandSettlements.com promotes free case evaluations by leading law firms. Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) January 18, 2006 -– Lawsuits continue to be filed against Pfizer, the maker of Bextra, although Bextra was removed from U.S. and Canadian shelves months ago. Bextra, the popular treatment for arthritis, was banned after the FDA confirmed major risks of cardiovascular damage and fatal skin diseases.
Plaintiffs complain that Pfizer knew of the destructive side effects of Bextra but continued to manufacture and market the drug to secure million dollar profits. Bextra lawsuits around the country seek justice and compensation for cases of death and heart attacks. In one case, the victim was only using Bextra for nine months.
Seeking legal help, consumers submit their Bextra complaints to LawyersandSettlements.com and choose a lawyer in hopes of legal representation and compensation. Consumers taking Bextra have complained about heart attacks/strokes, stomach ulcers, deadly skin diseases Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis, anaphylactic shock, and liver damage.
Medical professionals continue to complain that whole classes of pain relievers, Cox-2 inhibitor drugs and NSAIDS, are dangerous. Recently, after in-depth analysis, the FDA issued a warning label change for all Cox-2 inhibitor drugs and NSAIDS, including Bextra, Celebrex, Vioxx, Aspirin, ibuprofen, and Aleve, to note an increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) problems and potential life-threatening gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding.

(continued from before the article) ...There are prescription
and over the counter drugs and medications (like Celebrex, Celecoxib,
Ketoprofen, Oruvail, Orudis, Meclofenamate, Meclomen, Naproxen,
Naprosyn, COX-2 enzyme inhibitors, and NSAIDS to name just a few)
as well as natural alternative approaches like nutritional supplements,
vitamins, natural and herbal remedies (like MSM, chondroitin,
glucosamine sulfate to name a couple). Diet and exercise are considered
by many to be a significant part of the puzzle. Wow. This can
be pretty confusing... Severe and advanced cases sometimes require
radical measures like joint replacement surgery. If you search
the Internet, you will find no shortage of facts, knowledge and
information on the matter. With so much study, clinical tests
from doctors and medical practitioners, and such broad beliefs
about the causes and cures for arthritis it is difficult to know
what the authoritative answer is. I certainly don't have it. But...
I've collected a broad range of information that I've found interesting
and informative. It's just a start... but we have to start somewhere.
