From the experts
I used to take Bextra for my arthritis, but when the Food and Drug Administration asked Pfizer to stop selling it, my doctor put me on Celebrex. I am worried about reports saying that they increase the risk of heart attack or stroke. What should I do?
Q: Does cracking my knuckles increase my risk of arthritis?
