It relieved the pain by 90% so it made movement much easier. I did notice after an extended period of ...
I had a severe allergic reaction to this medication. I was supposed to take two pills/day but was only taking one/day. While taking one/day I started experiencing several side effects but didn't realize it was the medication. I was having stomach pains, chest pains and pains in my left arm that resulted in my going to the ER and undergoing three days of testing to my heart, which turned out ok. I...

I have used this for 3+ years. If I don't take it, I immediately note level of pain increases. I am allergic to alot of NSAIDS, but this one seems to work fine. I can't imagine functioning daily without it.

I have Arthritis in my hip and got to the point I had to use a cane or hiking stick when I took my walks. After using the med for about 3 months I no longer need the sticks and the pain is minimal. It worked for me and I have no complaints.

I have Lupus which causes me considerable knee and hip pain. I have bee on Nabumetone for about a week and it works well to keep the pain at bay, but the stomach problems are not worth it. I was on Bextra for 3 years and never had a problem...Now I can't seem to find an NSAID that won't upset my stomach

I have a very deteriated spineal disks ans vertibrays plus arthritis. Along with that I have pain in my knees, hands, neck, hands and sometimes I hurt elsewhere. I cannot get around well. I take a codine drug (the strongest possible) and it just doesn't help. Adding this to it gets rid of almost all my pain.
