User Reviews for Vimovo oral

Mad me constipated,abd distention,felt like my throat was closing up and made me panicky

Dr prescribed this due to my chronic neck pain from bulging discs with inflammation and recommended therapy. After a few days of taking this it has pretty much eliminated my chronic neck pain. My only issue is it bothers my stomach even with the PPI. Been on for 2 weeks but will take a break to see if stomach issues clear up.

I am still getting the pain in my lower back and right knee area.

the only problems i am having is swallow in me legs and feet and hands but it helps the pain and now i do not have to take to medications just one and it cheaper to a big plus but i am going to have to ask for more information on the swallowing

I had back surgery almost three years ago. I was on vicodin for a long time. Only by taking vimovo was I able to get away from vicodin. I only take one a day as it has really helped me. If I don't take them my pain comes back.

blood ressure went sky high and did not ease pain

Very expensive prescription....but when you check out the ingredients it is actually Aleve along with Nexium which you can substitute a variety of OTC medications which are much less expensive. Overall, I returned to taking Aleve and Previcid. Actually worked better and just as east to take. I just watch the dosage.

I've been on opiates for 7 years with little relief. I took Vimovo and suboxin and that is the first thing that has helped me since my injury. I still can't sleep because of pain. I wake up often during the night. I do have swelling in my left foot.

prescribed for back pain. does not relieve the pain, just numbs it.

I was prescribed this medication for a shoulder injury w/nerve impingement. It is the only medication that has given me relief and has added some range of motion to the shoulder. It did take a few days to notice relief but now that I've been on it for about a week, I notice a big difference. The only disappointment is that it does not help me to sleep through the pain but does help tremendously to function through the day.

I was prescribed this medicine for elbow pain and to reduce swelling due to minor gout. It did reduce swelling and the pain was minimized in my elbow and knee(side issue). It did not stop all of the pain but it did reduce the level. After taking this medicine for approximately six (6) weeks, I noticed severe swelling in my right ankle/foot and some in my left ankle/foot. I took the medicine for about two (2) more weeks and it just got worse. I also begin to notice that I was gaining weight. I completely stopped taking the medicine and the swelling started to go down immediately. After about a week my ankles/foot looked normal. I also begin to urinate more frequently and I lost a bloated look that I was beginning to get. After I stopped taking the medicine for the first several days my whole body ached with pain. I have been off the medicine about a week and the pain has subsided. When I go to my Dr. next week we'll see what's next. But no more VIMOVO for me. The swelling and pain in ankles/feet was scary.Read More Read Less

I noticed that I was becoming more and more agitated. My heart stated racing after being on it 2 weeks. Plus I gain 12 lbs. Stopped before calling doctor. Do not take.

i have bursitus in the hips-this med has completely taken all symtoms away,

Second day of treatment the pill apparently got lodged in my stomach. History significant for prior Lap Band surgery and the lodged pill caused a severe coughing episode that nudged the Band causing GI restriction. Symptoms consistent with too tight banding. Resolved after Upper GI study and removal of 1cc saline from the band. No other treatment and no further problem. Scary at the time.

Prescribed by nurse-practitioner due to pain (severe burning sensation) in my upper abdominal muscle after a 5 set tennis match and physical contact with another player. For a few days it seemed to help me to rest or sleep and reduced the ab pain; but after about 4 days, I now am having severe muscle cramps in the middle of my back. What's up doc? I don't think Vimovo has helped me.

I been taking this medicine for 2 weeks and I had a hard time breathing and muscle aches

Vimovo has helped relieve the pain of osteoarthritis, but I am wondering if it is the cause of my sudden anxiety.

osteoartritis

I was given this medication for pain relief from Sciatica...did not help that at all and in fact caused such horrible and painful muscke cramping in my abdomen, it is two days lated and i am still sore. I would NEVER take this again.
