I was taking Vioxx for back pain for less than a year and developed an ulcer. Then the Dr. prescribed Naproxen after my ulcer was repaired. Not a good drug for me. Naproxen started the ulcer again, major stomach pain, heartburn, and nausea at times. I have discovered, for me, that I cannot take any kind of anti-inflammatory drug, even over the counter ibiproferin (?) will start my stomach pain ... Show Full Comment

I was taking Vioxx for back pain for less than a year and developed an ulcer. Then the Dr. prescribed Naproxen after my ulcer was repaired. Not a good drug for me. Naproxen started the ulcer again, major stomach pain, heartburn, and nausea at times. I have discovered, for me, that I cannot take any kind of anti-inflammatory drug, even over the counter ibiproferin (?) will start my stomach pain again. So maybe that could be part of the stomach problems that have been mentioned here. When the ulcer first started with the Vioxx, my Dr. had me take all the drugs for GERD, heartburn, anything related to the stomach. Nothing worked, after multiple tests, I finally insisted on the test where they use a camera in your stomach...sure enough, there was the ulcer!! Stated taking ACIPHEX and it was almost instant relief! Sometimes you have to listen to your own body. The ins. companys would rather go with trial and error than try the best (?), more expensive drugs/ treatment and the Drs.usually go along with them. I suffered for over a year with my stomach trying different drugs, changing my eating, etc. Even had a colonoscopy!! I finally told the Dr. "no more crap" and that I wanted the gastro test, and that's when I was proven right.
