Hello, I'm wondering if anyone has any success stories (or not!) with etoricoxib. I was taking the maximum dose of over-the-counter ibuprofen for a few weeks and although it definitely didn't make most of the pain go away, I noticed an improvement in some of my newer symptoms, such as the stabbing jaw pains, dull ache and…
Good evening. I am CERTAIN I am being a stress head for no reason so apologies in advance for being a drama queen but I've made the mistake of Googling this and of course, I am now worrying!

My right hip was replaced in September 21. A successful operation and a straightforward recovery. A few months later I was diagnosed with breast cancer, which quickly became stage 4.
