Yesterday I went to the pharmacy to pick up my prescription of Naproxen, the new anti-inflammatory my Dr prescribed after a possible allergic reaction to Celebrex.
The pharmacist called me up, and said that she's really not comfortable giving me Naproxen, as it's also an NSAID. She said there's always a risk - since it's in the same family of meds - for the allergy to become worse, and even life-threatening. She suggested going back to my doctor and asking for an allergy test. Until then, she said to take Tylenol (not Advil since I could become allergic to that as well, ugh) to control pain. I never really knew if Celebrex made a difference when I'm shooting weddings, as I always end up having pain at the end of the night. But now I know it does make a difference. Yesterday, my hip was painful starting 5pm...pretty early when you only have half of the day done. I pushed through, but I felt pretty crappy when my day was over. So I'm back to the drawing board. Going to let my doctor know on Tuesday. I'll see where that goes...

AuthorMy name is Marie-Christine. I'm 34 years old and live in Montreal, QC, Canada. I have had two failed hip scopes on my right hip to do undiagnosed hip dysplasia. My amazing surgeon, who is in Quebec City, performed periacetabular osteotomy in November 2017. He also did one left hip scope (non dysplastic) in February 2017. Archives
