Have taken regular medication from good Doctors - had recommended various pain killers such as Indocap SR, Idicin, Ecwin, Voveran, Mobizox, Ultracet, Sterioid (during sever painful days) etc. alongwith SAZO EN.

My both Hip Joints are replaced i.e. first one during Nov. 2000 at PGI, Chandigarh (THR - Total Hip Replacement) second one during Feb. 2004 at Appolo Hospitals, Chennai (BHR - Burmingham Hip Resurfacing) Though am managing my routine activities appropriately but for the last few days experiencing lot of pain & stoop in my back. Feeling difficult to walk even with the help of 5 Pain Killers i.e. 3 Mobizox & 2 Ultracet Tabs.

Planning to go for Remicade...being expensive proposition not able to decide what will be the consequence if at some stage i may not be able to continue with Remicade, what are the key side effects and if somehow manage to continue for an year will I be really earn some more working years.

Had also faced Uveitis once somewhere during 90s and presently going thru the same in Rt. Eye only.
