| 5 | Sever arthritis in hands & feet | No side effects | I tried the advertised Arthritis medicines with severe side-effects and only tried this one because the doctor had samples. Instead of taking the pill 2X daily, as prescribed I take it at most once per day, usually about 3-4 times per week, but often skipping a week or two at a time. My arthritis has been under control for years and only causes me trouble if I skip taking the pills for about a month. At the time this was prescribed the doctor was discussing the strongest possible medicines in serious (threatening) doses. This drug has been a god-send for me. | M | 43 | 5 years 50 MG 3X W | 3/1/2010 | 5 | exteme pain in shoulder | I have no side effects that I am aware of. | I have tried various pain meds for the shoulder and nothing worked. I was skeptical when my doctor asked me to try Arthrotec but my pain is totally under control without any apparent side effects. | M | 59 | 90 days 50 1X day | 5/18/2010 | 5 | Osteo Arthritis in both knees | none | I cannot believe the immediate difference this medication had made in my life. I could not get up from my desk without holding onto the desk and walking up the stairs was intolerable. Within one day I felt the pain lessen. I am now walking up the stairs 95 % normal and can actually walk through a mall without having to sit down every 5 minutes. i am in need of a knee replacement, but in meantime feel like I have my life back. | M | 55 | 7 days 30 2X day | 12/5/2012 | 5 | hip pain | no side effects | Met with surgon last week to schedule hip replacement. Could not tolerate pain. Was on hydrocodine heavy aand did not like side effects. Almost overnight was 100% pain free. Sorry ladies i don not have bleeding or stomach pains. Truly wish you could have same results as i have.Took 5 years ago for shoulder pain and it worked as well.I am on my feet all day requiring steps and was ready to retire. I danced at a wedding this weekend for the first time in 3 years. | M | 62 | 5 days 75 2X day | 10/15/2012 | 5 | bad back | none with light stomich ake sometimes.a little shortness of breath at times | this product changed the way i have lived for 5 years.i had a back operation 20 years ago and my time of mobility was going from bad to worse.absolutly changed my life.i can go all day.there is one thing that i need to look into.my mother in law has rematoid arthro.she walked into the emergancy room and is hooked up to a machine to keep her alive for now .one week.she had an alergic reaction to the medicine she had been taken for her arthritice.she had been taken it for two years.and i do not know what to do.she has an infection in her lungs and lost all capassity.but the only thing i know is that it was not arthrotec,but can it all be the same? | M | 53 | 5 years | 8/8/2006 | 5 | bad knees ,osteoarthritus | Nothing unusual or that Im aware of . I have some acid reflux thats developed over the last few years, which may not be related since it runs in the family. | Works great! Hard to function without (pain),when I ran out. Im probably addicted to it.Somewhat concerned about the long term effects and listed possible side effects, so I've only ever taken arthrotec 50 once daily rather than twice, which is just enough to manage my pain levels. I feel it has a cummulative effect.....maybe. I dont think anything will completely remove the pain, and maybe shouldnt since it helps you to know whats going on. Else how much would you have to take, thus increasing your risk for possible adverse reactions. | M | 51 | 5 years | 2/2/2007 | 5 | arthrits in ankle and knee | frequent heartburn | take it once a day and it works very well on the pain. | M | 32 | 4 years | 7/15/2005 | 5 | Sore toe | No side affects | This pill works like magic to releive my arthritic pain! I don't take it regularly, only when required - approximately once per month. | M | 55 | 3 months | 9/28/2003 | 5 | ARTHRITIC KNEE | NONE | HAVE BEEN TAKING 1 75 ARTHROTEC DAILY IT HAS ALMOST TOTALY ELIMINATED MY KNEE PAIN I HAD ALMOST RESIGNED MYSELF TO A KNEE REPLACEMENT | M | 77 | 6 months | 10/28/2008 | 5 | Bad Hip | I have had no side effects been taking Arthrotec a little over a year, have not noticed any side effects | It does help alot I noticed that when there are times when I forget to take it I can't stand or walk for any lengths of time | M | 44 | 1.5 years | 1/22/2008 | 5 | arthritis | uncontrollable Diarrhea,kidney function | This product is the best medicine for arthritis pain I have ever taken, however after taking it for approx. 10 years it started affecting my kidneys, my stomach(acid reflux) and the diarrhea got worse, short term, I had no problems,this would be a great product if the manufacturer could get rid of the side effects. | M | 10 years | 3/7/2009 | 5 | osteoarthritis spine | none | took celebrex 8-1/2 years. when it stopped working my primary physician put me on arthrotec 75 twice a day. less convenient than the celebrex as twice per day instead of once per day. otherwise as reported by other comments there is occassional joint pain from increased physical activity. | M | 54 | 1 years | 9/27/2009 | 5 | rum arthritis | i wonder if it is not working as well or my arthritis getting worse | M | 57 | 25 years 75 2X day | 4/26/2015 | 5 | Acid reflux cured and lately Kidney pain | This is the only drug that had eliminated my pain. I had some acid reflux problems after taking it for a few years and was prescribed NEXUM etc. The cure i found for the acid reflux is take a tall glass of water and heat it to luke warm first, then add 1 tablespoon of Braggs apple cider vinegar and one tablespoon of lemon juice . I drank this once a day for a week and now only need it about once a week. This cured my stomach side affect much much better than any meds. Now i seem to be having some kidney pain in the last 6 months and need to get that checked. At this point I'm not sure if its a kidney, prostrate or back problem. I have cut back the arthritic to 3 a week but am having some days with major pain.Try the vinegar and lemon cure for you folks that are having the stomach issues, far better results than any GERD meds i was ever given with no side affects. | M | 63 | 20 years 75 mg 1X day | 4/29/2015 | 5 | RA | None | Miracle...other than a little buzz it relieved almost all my pain. | M | 50 | 1 days 75 mg | 1/3/2015 | 5 | Shoulder impingement-herniated disc | I have had some Nausea but it seems to have gone away after the first year. As long as I have food | This is the best medication I have ever taken when it comes to my shoulder in pinch meant it helps with my lower back but not as much as my shoulder knee wrist even heel fasciitis helps I can even cycle it now two weeks on one week off I also take opiates but the Arthrotec Works great with it or alone . I have so much pain from working 22 yrs working nights . A side note check your testosterone levels of low add testosterone to your program u will get your life back with arthotec thank God for this medication . Without it I am a mess . I’m 48 now I can lift weights light & have a life due to this supplement. It has kept me from getting both of my shoulders replaced takes about two weeks to work when I come off the pain does come back if I get surgery I would need the medicine anyway most likely | M | 49 | 10 years 75mg | 5/24/2018 | 4 | arthritis in a foot | I had been taking two tablets per day (one @ breakfast time ,the other @ dinner time) for a couple of years when I was alerted to possible long term side effects & then consulted my GP who advised because of the time I had been taking them to only take them on a "need to basis".I immediately stopped completely but found that I had muscular pains all over my body,I have now reduced my intake to one per day @ breakfast time & find that this has proved a moderately succesful outcome. | M | 63 | 2 years | 1/20/2010 | 4 | Migraines | No side effects worked moderately well in relieving minor/moderate migraines haven't tested it on high level pain yet. | M | 30 | 3 days 50 | 10/17/2013 | 4 | severe back pain, neuro pain | makes me very tired | pain has been lessened for the first time in two years. i a have gone from being crippled up, hard time even walking or getting a fire going in the morning (wood heat) to being able to walk around, split wood, ride bike with much less pain. going skiing in the morning. | M | 61 | 5 days 50 mg 1X day | 3/24/2014 | 4 | Lower back pain | Some stomach irritation, feels a bit like my pressure is up (in my head mostly). | I pulled my lower back at the gym 2 times. last time was about 1 1/2 years ago and it was pretty bad. Since then my back has really gotten worse. I still exercise everyday and stretch, but it really is not helping. I final went to the doctor and i am getting x-rays on my spine tomorrow. He gave me about 25 samples of Arthrotec 75. 3 days later I cannot believe how good my back feels. It has to be this drub, because this is the first day i can comfortably bend down with no pain and even touch my toes without bending my knees. It seems that this drug, like many drugs, works for some and not for all. as for me seems to be really good. | M | 38 | 3 days | 11/19/2009 |
