| 5 | CVID | It did cause deodenic ulcers, but my haematologist Flagyl and Avelon for a trip to the Seychelles. The combination healed my ulcers. I use ulsanic for any pain medication as I do not wat the ulcers to return. I have very little immunity as it is, so for me prevention is better than cure. | I cannot take it for more than 3 days. I suffer from severe Osteoperosis and osteo arthritis. My immune system can cause pain storms. I do not take the same pain meds all the time but alternate as to not get addicted or build an immunity against them. | F | 54 | 0 days 130mg 1X day | 7/5/2021 | 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 | 5 | Artritis pain | None really | My GP stopped my Artnrotec but since them i have awful pain in almost all my joints.I felt good on Arthrotec but always took them half way through a meal. | F | 83 | 0 years | 9/17/2017 | 5 | I am taking Aurthrotec for severe p | This medication is a Godsend I have been taking it for about 3 yrs. and it is wonderful no bleeding or stomach trouble...nothing no side effects...it works like magic gave me my life back, have been on every narcotic you can think of even Fontanal patches for 12yrs. But this works great for me | F | 59 | 1 years 75mg | 3/5/2017 | 5 | Spinal stenosis | Must be taken with food! | No problems with it at all. I started with 100 mg once/day but over time have got doseage down to 50 mg once a day. Very happy about that!! | F | 68 | 10 years 50 1x/day | 12/16/2016 | 5 | Severe lower back/joint pain | Occasional gastro/uterine cramping, diarrhea. Seems to happen for a day or two every couple months then goes away. No bleeding changes & have iud mirena which is still functioning, maybe helps to regulate bleeding side effects? | I have never found a pain pill so effective for so long. And I have been on a lot of very strong narcotics, so this is a complete life saver for me. I go from 10% mobility to 90+ % within an hour of taking each dose. May not work for everyone but would recommend a trial at the very least to see if pain relief>side effects. | F | 34 | 2 years 50/200 | 8/2/2016 | 5 | knee arthritis, torn rotator cuff | Some increased perimenopausal bleedingk, occasional gastric discomfort, only if taken on empty stomach. | This medicine was like a Godsend to me. I felt like I could move like a normal person again. I was totally despondent when I had a bad broken foot and threw a clot, and because I had to go on blood thinners, my Doctor took me off this drug. I can't wait to resume taking it again. Celebrex did nothing for me except cause my feet to swell with fluid. | F | 58 | 1 years 75 2X day | 4/20/2016 | 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 | 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 | RA | None | Miracle...other than a little buzz it relieved almost all my pain. | M | 50 | 1 days 75 mg | 1/3/2015 | 5 | osteoarthritis, hand, knees, hip. | The first week I was slightly sleepy and a bit dizzy but my body adjusted and now no side effects. | Still taking. Never intend to stop. Benefits for me outweigh long-term risk. It must be taken consistently for full benefit. It is better than Advil, Aleve, celebrex or any other anti-inflamatory I have tried. | F | 69 | 6 months 75mg 2X day | 8/15/2014 | 5 | Arthritis in low back, knees, hands | I have not experienced any of the side effects. Arthrotec helps me get through the day | F | 54 | 12 years 75 2X day | 12/28/2012 | 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 | low back pain, arthritis in spins | none | I have been concerned about long term effects of Arthrotec, but with chronic back for 9 years I cannot live without it right now. I was shocked to read some of the comments on this website. I never had any stomach trouble, or cramps, or anything people have mentioned here. People mentioned Celebrex. A friend of mine developed an ulcer after only a short time on Celebrex. I do not have any kind of stomach trouble after 8 years. Would I rather not take it? Of course, but I have to be able to get out of the bed in the morning. I have blood work done every year to see if there's any kidney, liver damage or anything, and so far there hasn't been any. I would recommend it. | F | 49 | 8 years 50 mg. 2X day | 3/12/2012 | 5 | Hip | Bleeding mini periods, lightheaded some time, finger tingling when I wake up | F | 61 | 3 years 50 mg 1X day | 8/11/2011 | 5 | arthritis in back | slightly heavier menstrual cycle | An absolute miracle drug for me. None of the stomach issues others seem to have. I was at the point where I was becoming highly immobile and in constant pain. Started taking arthrotec and had IMMEDIATE relief.... honestly never thought I would feel that way again...... recently pain has started to increase though, and not sure if I've overworked my back..... or if I'm becoming intolerant. Have recommended to two others who have had similar exceptional results for chronic arthritic type issues. | F | 49 | 15 months 75 mg 2X day | 10/22/2010 | 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 | Fibromyalgia, arthritis of hip & sp | Hunger pangs | Brilliant, I have a new lease of life, i walk up & down steps properly, no longer sideways like a toddler, hip pain as gone other than if i jar it | F | 52 | 14 days 50mg 2X day | 5/17/2010 | 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 |
