Hi, Mobic and Diclofenac have no effect on my inflammation, so I'm going to ask my doc for a new script. Any suggestions on what I should try next?

thanks for your help !

I was on Diclofenac and Celebrex. I am back on Aleve or it's generic naproxen 2 in the morning and 2 at might or to equal the prescription strength of 500 mg AM and PM. I find it works the best for me. I take it with Tylenol 1000 mg.

thanks Michael. So, you found the Aleve is better the prescription anti inflammatories?

Hi Frances,

I am currently on prednisone, celebrex and plaquenil for my PsA and other than the mouth ulsers/canker sores I have no other side effects and the best part is, its the best I have felt in years, not painfree but extremely manageable and can get through my days work more easily and can even go to the gym after working a 8-9 hour shift. I hope you find the right combo that works for you. Take care and wishing you all the best

Yes, Frances, Aleve or naproxyn seems to work the best for me. I take it with Tylenol for added pain relief. Though I do have Vicodin if it is too awful I do try to avoid it. Naproxyn use to be prescription at the 500 mg strength. When Aleve came out it is a 220 mg strength. It is cheapest for me to buy OTC (over the counter) at Costco or Wallmart and take 2 at a time twice a day.

Thanks Michael. I'll try it until I see my rheumy on April 24th and see how it works.
