Question
I am currently on Vioxx for arthritis and now have developed "tennis elbow" for some reason and I was wondering if it would be safe to take Naproxin or just some ibubrofin with the Vioxx for the inflamation in the elbow or should the Viox be relieving this also? Thank you

Answer
Rosalie,

Actually the Viox should be working on it also. It is safe to take both for a short period of time. Naproxin or ibuprofen is not safe to take for extended periods of time. If your elbow is not getting better in a few days it would be good to see your doctor.

I wish you good health,
