Thanks Doreen:

One more quick question... if ketorolac is making me retain water, could it be responsible for my most recent stall?

I dont eat much salt or salty foods, but I have been using NoSalt to get potasium, maybe I should go back to potassium pills again.

These NSAIDS are funny, I tried Vioxx, Celebrex, and about 4 others before I got any relief from my poor knees without cartilege. I cant understand how others can use drugs such as Celebrex etc and call them wonder drugs and they dont work for me, but an old relatively obscure one works...

I wish that I didnt have to take them, I tried eliminating them for 3 days and I ended up having to use the cane again. Pain is a funny thing, I can use my knees if I have the anti-inflamatory but I just cant force myself to use them without it. If I can actually use my knees with the anti-inflamatory, you would think that I could use them without too (just painful). Getting up from a chair turns into an act of courage without meds.

Once again, thanks

Holly
