I, along with my PCP, decided that I would go off all my mediciations after surgery.....well, that was almost 9 days ago and so far so good except for the Celebrex for my arthrtis in my hips. My hips are killing me....anyone with a band and taking Celebrex?

Has anyone tried Glucosamine Chondroitin for their arthritis? Can I take this with the band?

A lady at our support group asked that very question, if Glucosamine could be taken with the band and my surgeon replied "knock yourself out".

Sorry about the hip pain. I get bad hip pain too (esp if I work out too hard) so I can only imagine what you are going through.

There is a liquid vitamin at the vitamin shoppe that has Glucosamine Chondroitin in it. Maybe that would be a good way to help with your hip pain and get your vitamins all at the same time. They also have liquid glucosamine both are in this search:
