Rimadyl is a pain med but it also is a anti inflamitory that help the muscle heal while the dog rests. It may be better to continue with it at a reduced dosage.
He was on rimadyl for 4 weeks (he also has another pain medicine that was "as needed") and the vet said I could discontinue and just give as needed as he continues to rest.

Thanks for the information and thread about Maggie! I'm glad to see that others have had success with this.
