I have Osteo Arthrisis and am in remission with Rheumatoid Arthritis. I went through chemo with the RA, injections (Enbrel), Vioxx, Celebrex, Arthrotec, Niproxin, and probably a couple more for about 5 years. Right now, I take one Aleve in the morning and sometimes a second one on bad days. Aleve helps my knees, ankles, and hands, but doesn't seem to do much for my upper back and hips. Then, I have to take Prilosec OTC for the acid stomach the Aleve gives me. And, lots of Iron because I stay anemic.

All-in-all, I feel great right now. I think typing and crochet helps my hands, but the sitting is heck on my back, hips and legs.
