The combination of Tylenol and one of the NSAID: either naproxen or ibuprofen, is OTC for a reason. The prescription drugs are prescription-only for a reason, too. While celocoxib may work where the other NSAIDs dont, theres no overwhelming reason to think so, and it mighty hard to recommend a COX-2 modifier as a DIY project. Also, since youre worried about expense, you should be aware that even simple Lidoderm patches, even though they contain a dirt-cheap medication, do so using a horrifically expensive delivery system, and your money would probably be better spent on a consultation with a physician.
