Pages: 1 Another bad doctor??       #68402 - 05/06/04 06:35 PM Edit Reply Quote abby82 Reged: 03/08/04 Posts: 335 Loc: Nevada Ok - I just got back from the gyno.....I got the ortho evra patch to try. I've never taken any birth control before so this will be my first try. I also asked him about a prescription pain killer because of my AWFUL cramps! I told him I heard a lot of good things about Ultracet and he said that there was something better and gave me some samples of Bextra. From what I understand this is Aspirin-based - I havent done any looking on it yet but isnt Aspirin a bad way to go??? I just kinda feel like he was in a rush to get me outta there and was just giving me whatever. Anyways does anyone have experience with this or have any advice??

It's not as tough on the tummy as the others, but I found it still upset my stomach, whereas other people have been able to tolerate it fine. Bextra is one of the newest and best NSAID's and it definitely helped my pain. Maybe give it a try and if it doesn't agree with you call him back. It didn't trigger D, just started making my tummy hurt. -------------------- Laura Keep it simple! Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1
