| 3 | osteoarthritis | Gas, sensitivity to sun, broken capillaries in feet & ankles that turn very dark brown anywhere the sun hits them. | Have tried Mobic Vioxx Feldene without good results. Relafen keeps knees comfortable but doesn't control hip and shoulder pain completely. Have taken for 3 years. | F | 51 | | 3/5/2004 | 1 | Relafen Linked to Stevens Johnson Syndrome | | 6/30/2006 | 1 | lower back pain from degenerative d | heart palpataions, neck pain, sweating, sluggish feeling, hunger, muscle twitching, heat burn, constipation | It did nothing for my pain. | F | 62 | | 3/16/2009 | 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 | 1 | Back spasms | SEVERE hives - then swelling of face less than an hour after taking it. Injection of steroids did no good - had to have IV steroids, epinephrine, the whole works and was in the ER for most of the day. Now have an epi-pen with me. | According to the allergist, Relafen works chemically differently than Ibuprofen and some of the other NSAIDs. I can take generic Ibuprofen without trouble - but like all meds, don't take them unless you really NEED them to reduce your chance of becoming allergic. | F | 58 | 1 times | 1/1/2008 | 1 | osteoarthritis | shortness of breath, heart racing and pulse skipping. Only took 2 doses. Never had any of these symptons before taking Relafen. | M | 66 | 1 days | 3/1/2008 | 1 | wrist pain | Diarrhea which has continued for 2 1/2 weeks after I stopped taking the drug. The doctor has said he doesn't think Relafen caused the problem but it can't be a coincidence. I had severe diarrhea after one day so I stopped taking it immediately. | F | 66 | 1.5 days | 11/10/2004 | 2 | Pulled / Strained muscle | Stomach pain, Nausea, Chest cramping, Diareah, gas... | Relafen and percoset were given to by my DR. for a pulled / strained muscle in my lower ribs. I have had percocet before for other medical procedures, and never had a problem. For some reason, this time around, combined with the relafen, I feel sick to my stomach, cramping in my chest along with a | M | 22 | 3 days | 2/16/2005 | 2 | Pulled / Strained muscle | Percoset combined with the relafen, I feel sick to my stomach, cramping in my chest along with a | Relafen and percoset were given to by my DR. for a pulled / strained muscle in my lower ribs. 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 | inflamed disk in the spine | I thought I was having an allergic reaction and went to the ED. I was told to stop an antibiotic I was taking, which I did. The same symptoms appeared the next day. The side-effects of this drug were practically the same as an allergy: I have hives, sweating, fluid retention, headache, itching, rash, fluid retention and swelling. | My back feels great, and I am grateful for that. But I am going to stop taking this medication until I can see my doctor again. | F | 50 | 3 days | 5/20/2005 | 1 | shoulder issues after surgery | thought it was going to be a drug I could tolerate. 3rd day..heart palps...terrible stomach and abdominal pain....stopped taking it and still heart palps 3 days later | F | 48 | 3 days 500 2X day | 5/27/2013 | 3 | Low back pain, lumbar and cervical | Got the worse headaches I have ever had behind right eye and right ear. Nothing would take this headache away but Excedrin Migraine. Never had headaches before taking this med. I have stopped using this medication. | This really helped my pain levels in my low back and neck but could not tolerate any more of the headaches. No other side effects | F | 54 | 4 days 500 mg | 5/23/2015 | 4 | ankle and foot pain | Heart palpitations and fluttering sensation, abdominal pain and bloating, severe headache. | It was on the 4th day that I started having the side effects. I stopped taking it. It did help my foot pain greatly, but I didn't feel it was worth the side effects. | M | 43 | 5 days | 3/23/2008 | 4 | Knee osteoarthritis | The drowsiness is my big complaint; if I could get over that, it would be great because it does help the pain | I am prescribed 750 twice a day but can only handle it once a day | F | 61 | 5 days | 5/14/2017 | 3 | osteoarthritis in shoulders | Extreme diarrhea | It's working great on my shoulder pain, but...being up all night at least 5 times an hour to use the bathroom is going to stop me from taking it. I suppose I'll have to chase the side effects with other drugs :( | F | 60 | 5 days 500 2X day | 1/25/2015 | 3 | herniated disc and arthritis | Feel a bit sluggish and nauseous, the pain subsides for a while and then comes back. I don't like taking this drug due to the side affects. | F | 58 | 5 days | 6/25/2008 | 1 | knee pain | Within 2-3 hours of taking the dose, generalized aches and pains in all muscles, somewhat relieved by heat, lasting several hours. This stopped when I discontinued the drug. | F | 53 | 5 days | 8/8/2006 | 2 | IT band injoury from running | MAJOR diarrhea. I also started to breakout in cyst-like underground pimples.
