If you are being prescribed Vioxx you should contact your doctor promptly.
Just a personal note regarding this medication: I was only able to stay on Vioxx for a few days. I started to swell up and I also had increased bruising.
I am so sorry for those of you who have found Vioxx to be a helpful medication. I will be hoping that your doctors can find a suitable replacement that will help you.
