I have arthritis in my hands especially. While on this med. the pain was very much relieved. I took the med for one month and it worked well, but then my stomach begin to burn about 30 to 45 minutes after I had taken it also experienced nausea. Now that I have been off a couple days, the pain is returning. I guess I had forgotten how bad they could hurt.

Excellent drug as it allows me to be ambulatory without significant pain. I have noted that if I fail to take the drug for a few days, the result is feeling as though I've been hit by a train. I'm forced to be bedridden.

I think everyone who takes this drug will find it to be effective, but they need to know that all drugs of this type (nsaids) will eat away at your stomach lining. Therefore, you should request from your doctor a companion drug (cytotec) to protect your stomach lining and you will have a much safer experience. I have taken this combination for many years and have no serious repercussions.

I haven't had a single side effect mentioned by the other users. After reading the reviews, it almost seems strange? Perhaps it has to do with the overall health of the patient? I'm taking it for ankle and hip pain. I need surgery on the ankle, but I'm waiting a few months. It seems that Feldene is helping to reduce the pain each day - making it tolerable so I can excercise and walk. I just worry when I go off of it....been taking it for about 9 mos and love it.

This has been my anti-inflammatory whenever I get sciatica/pyriformis syndrome, joint pain, and inflammatory process since 1987. It provides quick relief, with few doses, and minimal side effects.

In 1991 took Feldene for then unknown disease of Fibromylagia... Wound up with a perforated ulcer on top of an artery.... After many treatments including ice lavage... A stomach resection/antrectomy including a 5 units transfusion ... I was in the hospital for a month and took about 1 year to recover.... I still have severe side effects with sugars and fats.... I say don't take it .... It is outright dangerous

I call this medication my "miracle drug". It removes all the pain and stiffness from arthritis. It is perfect for me.

I had contracted Fifths disease which is a little known childs affliction. My son had a slight rash on his stomach. It just so happened the doctor said "when Adults get it, it causes major join pain" WaaLa.. I had it and my doctor had no idea what the problem was. I finally tried Proxican, and it worked! I took it for 15 years, no side effects. but effectiveness is gone now. I stopped and I am looking for an alternate. Maybe Lyraca. I am working to get off Vicoden. very additive and hate memory loss from it.Read More Read Less

I recently started this med for my Plantar Fasciitis and it has been highly effective for my heel pain. I don't have any of the side effects but I do take it with a full glass of water and with food. It has allowed me to hope to run again!!!

This is the most dangerous drug I have ever taken. I had horrific side effects. A terrible rash that felt like I had hundreds of needles sticking into my skin & it itched horribly. I became very sun sensitive & anywhere my skin was exposed to the sun, even for a few minutes I either got a horrific rash or a sunburn. A horrible experience. Take this drug off the market! I had to have emergency treatment with steroids for a week to overcome the rash!

Being as I have stage 3 liver disease I was really surprised when the doctor prescribed this medication for painful tongue due to thrush in my mouth. The thrush was caused by overloading me with steroids - so they given me a non steroidal for inflammation and pain. I am so done trying to get away from all these meds that say DO NOT TAKE IS YOU HAVE LIVER DISEASE.

Wonderful that the pain is lessened, sometimes gone. Can bother the stomach, then I take it every other day for a week. Have had extreme itching though, barely tolerable.
