Comment from: Havenslife, 45-54 Male on Treatment for 2-5 years (Patient)

I suffer from degenerative osteoarthritis in my back, hips and knees and I am in constant pain. This medicine makes the pain tolerable to where I can continue working and having a somewhat normal life. Although it does not relieve the pain completely, I can certainly tell when I missed a dose.

It took a month to really get in my system but I would never stop taking it. I take 2 pills a day and definitely know when it's time to take the 2nd. Have been taking it for 13 months and have intermittent boughts with constipation and diarrhea. Published: March 17, 2008 ::

I fight with arthritis and fibermyalgia. Nothing would work unless I wanted to live life as a zombie. After 2 weeks I knew something was changed and I knew if I missed a dose. I love this medication it doesn't make me a zobie. I live life a lot better than before Published: April 09, 2008 ::

I use this for Chronic Hip Bursitis. I've tried several other anti-inflammatory drugs, and this keeps me pain free, and feeling "normal". There have been a few times, I've forgotten to take it. I'm reminded that same day with pain and limping. The only thing I don't like are the bruises that pop up for no reason. Right now, I have 5 on one arm, 2 on the other, and at least 8 between both legs. They're no larger than a half dollar, but I look like an abused woman. I need to let my Dr. know, but I'm afraid he'll take it away! Published: May 22, 2008 ::

I have a very physically demanding job, which was becoming impossible until Relafen. I can now keep up with the youngest of people on my job. Published: October 30, 2007 ::

Comment from: fibromess, 45-54 Female on Treatment for 1-6 months (Patient)

This med doesn't touch my pain. I have fibromyalgia and a bad disc in my back and this is no more effective than a baby aspirin and it makes me sick to my stomach. Considering the side effects and it's uselessness I stopped taking it. [my dr. knows.] Published: October 12, 2007 ::

Comment from: mothermoon, 45-54 Female on Treatment for 2-5 years (Patient)

I have fibromyalgia and arthritis. This drug in brand name form was successful in eliminating my pain and physical limitations. The generic form did not and I found it very disappointing. Published: March 13, 2008 ::

Comment from: 19-24 Female on Treatment for 1-6 months (Patient)

i have used this for TENSION headaches because nothing else worked! AND THIS DID! Published: November 07, 2007 ::

Comment from: SAnne, 45-54 Female on Treatment for 5-10 years (Patient)

I have fibromyalgia and all I can say is THANK GOD for this medication! It gradually decreased the pain until I felt I could make it without taking the medication any longer. After I stopped taking it is when I realized just HOW much it had helped me. I'll never miss another dose again. Published: October 01, 2007 ::
