I believe that Merek knowingly caused medical issues that could have been avoided to gain profit. My wife used Vioxx for joint replacement in 2002 and has now had the joint relaced 4 times. She is in more pain now then ever before. She is taking a number of narcotic drugs to supress the pain. The top surgeons in the world are baffled as to why the joint has fallen apart 3 additional times. I am not sure if they have examined the possibility of Vioxx being the cause and if my wife will actually lose her arm due to what I believe is Vioxx caused bone issues. She had to have her shoulder replaced due to a sports injury from many years prior. She had no bone issues prior to the use of Vioxx and the surgery. I have no doubt that the surgeons that performed the surgery knew what they were doing. They are the BEST. Ainsworth Allen in New York did th first and I believe him to be an authority on Shoulder Replacement. Now we face what may be the most devastating truth, the loss of total movement in th arm and maybe even removal. What will Vioxx do to help us there? My wife has also experienced recently some noticeable loss in movement of her knees. This issue has compromised her skeleton structure strength. Now where do I go? I need help. I am out of a job, we can’t afford drugs to contain the pain, and it is obvious that she will have to have yet another surgery that will be in excess of $60,000 to 80,000 not to mention the rehabilitation to get her back to the way she was. However, there is no guarantee because something is not right with her bone structure. Bone density tests have been performed with a negative outcome. So what does this mean for us? We need help!!!! I mean now and not if the courts feel it is necessary or Lawyers want money. We need her to be one piece and relievedfrom the current pain.
