It was very good at controling my keen inflamation and paid,however I had severe stomach aches, nausa and weekness. I had taken the drug when I was younger and as long as I took it with food it worked o.k. but now I am seventy and my stomach cannot tolerate it. I have tried cutting back to 1/2 tablet to see how that works. I think it may have caused some bleeding in my stomach, as I had some black in my stool today. I will watch to see if that shows up anymore. It would be nice if it could be coated and time releasedRead More Read Less

My Dr told me my leg pain was due to sciatica. I began taking this drug with no problems. However after a week I noticed a funny coating on my tongue and bitter taste in my mouth. That's the only problem I've had so far. I've only been taking one a day at bedtime because it makes me drowsy.

I took this medication for 1 week, twice a day as prescribed. By the 7th day my hands were so swollen I could not get my mother's ring off. My feet also swelled, I gained 5 lbs in a week and was extremely tired. Stopped taking it that day and now 6 days later my hands are no longer swelled, nor are my feet and I lost the extra weight gained. hmmmmmmmmm, what could have caused the sudden turn aroung? Will never use again.

I have been diagnosed with runners knee and was prescribed this medication for the pain. My pain did not decrease at all and actually seemed to get worse and within the first week I had gained five pounds of water weight visibly.
