I take Arthrotec 75mg...1tab twice a day. I have Osteoarthrites and Fibromyalgia. I have taken this drug for years and it helps me a lot. I thought at one point either it was not helping or my condition had gotten worse. I was off of it for a few days and could not hardly walk. I hurt all over. Then when I started back taking it the symtoms went away. I do still have some pain but nothing like it ...

I was prescribed this medication by an arthritis specialist for my knee last fall. I tried to take it like prescribed but it made me violently sick to my stomach no matter how many different ways I tried to take it, before eating, after eating, during a meal. Every time it ended with me being incredibly queasy, vomiting or with horrible stomach cramps and feeling like I had sever food poisoning. T...

I have been taking about 6 months. This medication has greatly improved my pain, swelling and mobility. I haven't needed opiods since I started, its great!

Arthrotec relieves the pain in my shoulders quite well, but if I take it for two or more days in a row, I begin to get horrible toothache pain, usually associated with my molars. I can stop using Arthrotec and the mouth pain clears up.

I was prescribed this medication by an arthritis specialist for my knee last fall.

Every time it ended with me being incredibly queasy, vomiting or with horrible stomach cramps and feeling like I had sever food poisoning. The little bit of pain relief was not worth the stomach problems.

Medicine worked but inside and outside of my mouth broke out in blisters and canker sores. Stopped medication after being on it for a week.

I have back pain caused by herniated disc. At the end of the day this can be rather discomforting, preventing sleep and causing frequent 'wake-ups'- if sleep arrives. If I take one Arthrotec75 around 3/4hr before going to bed I can get to sleep and will have a good nights rest with less pain than normal when waking and for the following day. A good result.

I have severe back and hip pain. I tried physical therapy and still had pain. My doctor recently prescribed Arthrotec 75 twice a day. It made a huge difference in my life. I am currently without pain 90% of the time.

I was a person that exercised often, and kept busy. Arthritis has slowed me down over the past couple of years. I have tried taking different medications to help with pain and stiffness, but nothing really worked. After the doctor started me on this medication, I started to feel better after the second day! I am moving around better, with very little pain. I didn't realize how stiff I was until I started taking this medicine. Thank God for my doctor having the knowledge to try this with me! I look forward to getting better, and enjoying exercising again! God is good!!!Read More Read Less

I have taken this med for almost 8 years. Nothing else I tried relieved the pain. It is also the only one that didn't hurt my stomach at all as long as it is taken with a meal. It helps me live a normal live even with my arthritis.

I have been taking this drug for about 3 years. I stopped for a few days to see if it was really doing me any good. I could barely walk. Hurting all over. I started back on the prescription tonight and already feel a difference in the pain.

I had several (6) back, neck, knee operations for reconstruction after I fell 60 ft.. I went threw morphine by the jugs, thousands thats right thousands of pain pills, electro emplants everything eles over 3 years and one day I was given a Arthrotec, the pain was managnable, I walked , sat down by my self I was out of the wheelchair I got my life back after 18 months in the hospital. I hope it can help you like it helped me. You have to find your own way out of hell, no one answer is the trick for everyone. Im 20yrs without a pain pill, have a life. I have pain but I deal with it. I try everything that's sounds right for me. They wanted to replace all the rods, bars, screws in my back a few yrs ago because it was hurting me all the time. I tried a $100 tracton belt I seen on TV and it some how worked for me. Im not perfect but they did not have to operate. The replacement parts where enbeded in my spine and it was nessary to cut ot all out and install a new type but I knew I would never survive the ordeal. Im walking, living a life and moving on with it. Read up on your problem, try what ever you think can work for you. After all the doctors are done with you, you have to live with your pain. Try everything till you touch on the one thing that sets you free. Locked in a chair or tied to a hospital bed for 18 months was my hell, I was lucky to get out and I hope you get out to....

Failed knee replacement in one knee, needing replacement with the other. I cannot move without this drug. It's been a tremendous help to me. No negative side effects.
