This medicine worked great on my lower back pain! In fact it worked so well that I could take this instead of dilaudid! The only reason I didn't continue to take it is that it is an NSAID and I can no longer take NSAID's because of my stomach.

I have fibro,ra, and massive headaches. They took my Ubuntu and gave me this. it makes me feel drunk like I have a hangover and all I want to do is sleep. I called my dr and they said it was not the medicine um hello what is it then? It's all I took and I can't function? Ginger to call again today because this is not working!!

I have been using it for about 2 years and it has been fairly effective I use 50 mg pills twice a day but I might have to increase the dosage for winter weather. I have not experienced any side effects with this medication.

I'm taking this for carpel tunnel, until my benefits from work kick in and I can have the surgery... I noticed the first day I look the pill how little pain I felt compared to not taking it.

I take Arthrotec, which is DICLOFENAC plus MISOPROSTOL, which helps the stomach. Taking various NSAIDs over the years has killed my stomach. This is the only one that I can still take. I have taken Tramadol and Vicodin, but Arthrotec -- any NSAID -- works much better for my chronic joint, tendon, and muscle pain. I don't know what I'm going to do when I can't take this also.

I noticed relief within a few hours of taking the first dose. Wihout this medication, I could not sit, walk, bend over, squat or even do things as simple as showering. I love the results but I am worried about the side effects of this type of medication.

Well, i would like to report this drug was good for me,but no it has given me a heart attack! so they tell me. now I am worried that I am at risk of dying. I apparently had a heart attack, I went to the doctors with what I thought was reflux. I was checked but obviously not thoroughly, maybe I should have died for the doc to notice. then they told me on the phone thru a third person from an insurance medical doctor that there was something wrong, so then the doc phones me to tell me that I had an heart attack....phones.... will I recover from this drugs effect, how long to find out?Read More Read Less
