How Can severe Ankle Bursitis Be Treated?
I have bursitis in my ankle and have been taking Celebrex 200 MG once a day since February 14th when I saw the Dr. It helps the pain and swelling, but I am getting afraid to take it for too long. I am a woman 84 years old. I have read of so many side effects. Many years ago I had a blood clot in that leg and had veins stripped.
