3 | L5 S1 disc herniation | numbness and tingling sensation on left pinky and ring finger. | pain shooting down left leg somewhat better. Used to be painful to stand or walk even for a few minutes. Now it is somewhat better. Still have pain when on my feet for a prolonged period of time, but not as frequent. | M | 42 | 2 weeks 750mg 2X day | 4/29/2012 | 1 | osteoarthritis | headache and ringing in the ears | After finding out from pharmacist that this drug caused my ringing in ear & that it MAY or MAY NOT go away, I threw the medication away. I had to see an ENT who gave me prednisone to take for the ringing cause I can't hear out of ear cause he said there's nerve damage. | F | 48 | 21 days 500mg 2X day | 5/2/2011 | 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 | 2 | arthritis pain | Upper arms swelled up like balloons, after just 2-3 days. Still that way 2 years later. | F | 56 | 2 weeks ? 1X day | 9/19/2010 | 5 | lower back injury | None. | Used initially for short-term to treat injury with significant back pain. Helped immensely to relieve discomfort. Have used again when reinjury occured with same great results. | F | 48 | 7 days 1000 MG 1X day | 7/19/2010 | 5 | RA | weight gain--15 pounds in 6 months | very helpful with alleviating stiffness and joint pain--allows me to sleep well at night | F | 53 | 8 months 500 2X day | 7/6/2010 | 3 | arthritis | No ill effects, I can't say that I feel better, but I had to go off of it 2 weeks prior to surgery and my knees did seem worse, but not much better now that I've been back on it for 2 weeks, although I could still be healing from the arthroscopic surgery on one of them. My hands don't feel any change on it or off. | F | 49 | 3 months 500mg 2X day | 6/4/2010 | 5 | inflammation | some hot flashes when on higher doses | told by my doc to cut back as she thought it could be damaging my kidneys | F | 54 | 16 years | 8/25/2009 | 5 | Arthritis pain in lower back & legs | I've had no side effects. I take 1500 mg a day. | Pain is the worst at night when I lay down. Before Relafen I couldn't sleep more that about 2 hrs a night. Relafen, diet, and stretching relieved about 80% of my pain. After 10 yrs on Relafen, my pain is getting worse again. Don't know what to do now. | M | 59 | 10 years | 5/21/2009 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 3 | low back pain | some dizziness, increased appetite, nervousness, heart palpatations, swelling in hands and fingers | It has helped releive my lower back pain and given me more freedom of movement, my doctor has recommended I stay on it for the next 3 months and check back with him again. Not sure I want to take this drug for that long as I think the side affects might be more dangerous than I've been told. | M | 56 | 2 months | 6/17/2008 | 3 | joint pain, random pain in arms | I have had heart palpitations twice in ten days and just tried on a dress I bought a week ago and it fit differently like I am swollen or something. I am going to discontinue. I took a antidepressant once that caused the rapid swelling and weight gain and so do steroid packs. I will say the pain has been a little better, but it's not worth the side effects. | F | 54 | 10 days | 4/17/2008 | 5 | achiness in back and neck | None, this is the only NSAID that I have been able to tolerate. I do advise taking it with food though. | F | 56 | 10 years | 3/26/2008 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 |
