I feel total discomfort when taking both of these drugs... and ive only been on them for 3 days... Like I said before, I have never had a problem with Percoset in the past either... My main concern is the whole cramping in my chest, near my heart... I have never had that side affect before with percoset, but I am now getting it when both products are combined. I stoped taking both a this time. | M | 22 | 3 days | 2/16/2005 | 1 | ankle pain | buring sensation in my stomach | this medicine made my stomach burn like fire. i took about 6 days straight and then stopped taking it becuase the stomach pain hurt so much. Also it gave me a very very heavy period with large clots and large amount of blood loss. Side effects definatley not worth it, id rather keep the ankle pain!!!! | F | 25 | 6 days | 10/4/2007 | 5 | Lower back pain and sciatica | Occasional ear ringing, very occasional dizzy episodes mainly due to postural drop on standing. | F | 26 | 4 weeks 60mg | 2/10/2014 | 2 | neck/shoulder pain | panic attack, pins and needles in fingers, muscles tight | i would not take this drug again, it helped a little, but feeling uninjured muscles twinging and pretty sure my heart beat faster than normal while taking | M | 27 | 6 days | 8/22/2008 | 5 | Inflammatory Arthiritis Pain | The only side effect is upset stomach. I have to eat prior to taking this medicine and right after in order to prevent stomach pain. I noticied that Milk of Magnesia helps to coat the stomach too when taking this drug. | This drug worked better than any OTC drug like Motrin or Ibprofen. | F | 28 | 1 months | 5/20/2009 | 4 | arthritis in my lower back | pins and needles in hands and feet. | I've been taking Relafen for a week now and I too feel better than I have in two years or better. I just started with the pins and needles the last couple of days. I noticed it is listed as a rare side effect. Anyone else had this effect? | F | 31 | 1 times | 4/4/2005 | 4 | RA | Felt a little fuzzy-minded at first | VaVoom! I love this stuff. Goodbye Advil. I have SO much energy after only a week and my pain went from an 8 to a 3. Not running yet, but I see real exercise in my future now. | F | 32 | 7 days | 7/5/2006 | 4 | Joint pain in hip/muscle strain | Hair Loss...clumps of hair. | The drug helped relieve my severe pain. But I will stop taking this now, and let the muscle heal the rest of the way. | F | 32 | 8 days 500 2X day | 11/30/2010 | 1 | Chronic daily migraine | Stomach pain, constipation and diarhea- alternately, rapid weight gain, bloating, edema | I do not think that the medicine had an effect on my headaches. It took me a while to discern all of the effects of the Relafen. I started taking the medicine around the time of a bad headache cycle, so I thought that some of the side effects were just the headache- but now I realize that it was actually the Relafen. | F | 32 | 1 months | 4/7/2007 | 2 | IT band injoury from running | MAJOR diarrhea. I also started to breakout in cyst-like underground pimples. My ankles looked looked swollen. | I would not take this medication again. | F | 33 | 6 days | 10/20/2006 | 4 | fibromyalgia | stomach cramping, have to use the bathroom more, and bruise easier. | I had numbness everywhere, constant in legs. No longer constant numbness it comes and goes in seconds. Hasn't helped much with the pain, but has done amazing with the numbness. | F | 34 | 15 days 750 2X day | 4/3/2017 | 5 | Lower back pain | None | The pain in my lower back has subsided a great bit do to this medication. It took about three weeks for it to affect me, but I am very happy with the results. | M | 37 | 50 days | 11/27/2006 | 4 | RA | At first the drug made me | I couldn't really tell that the drug was doing anything until I missed a dose. I still feel pain but if I miss a dose the stiffness after sitting or even the morning stiffness is more than double when taking the med. | M | 37 | 3 months | 4/9/2005 | 3 | bulging discs in cervical after MVA | itching rash on arms and legs that felt like bug bites, gastro problems, gas, cramping, blood in stool, occasional chest pain | Dr. said I had to be on it for at least a week before feeling relief. Not sure if it worked since I still feel pain. I stopped taking it after the bloody stools and chest pain because the side effects scared me. Feel Naproxen works better. | F | 37 | 30 days | 7/16/2007 | 4 | lupus with heartlining inflammation | Upset stomach, with a little nausea and diarhea. I seem to bruise easier, too. | Wow. I felt energetic for the first time in I don't know when. I think I have had sle for several years, but was only recently diagnosed. The fatigue, more than any soreness or pain was the worst. Relafen is supposed to have less of a chance of liver and kidney damage than some of the other NSAIDS. | F | 38 | 3 months | 5/18/2004 |
