 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

 2  Shoulder/Joint Pain Headaches, extreme fluid retention I gained five pounds in the last five weeks. This made me more lethargic. I couldn't get through the day without a 2 hour nap, which doesn't cut it since I'm a full-time student. I didn't figure out that the weight gain was related to relafen until last week. I suddenly realized I was hungry all the time and that my weight had suddenly changed after remaining the same for four years. F 43 2 weeks

 1  joint pain - osteoarthritis Had a severe allergic reaction, itching rash that moved from my chest to my entire front side of my body. This went on for two weeks and the Dr's. said it will go away. Do you think they could stand two weeks of this? The itching was like being bitten my misquotes from my neck to my feet. A back ache that felt like I had been beaten by a mugger, that started at my mid back and radiated to the left and cramped my muscle up so bad that it hurt to just breath. Sweating, fluid retention, headache, and swelling. Don't take this drug F 47 15 days

 3  hip pain no side effects per sae I'm taking it short term while I wait for a full hip joint replacement. It worked well the first month, but after that, it hasn't helped the pain much at all. The main problem is that I fell, injuring my knee and shoulder and couldn't take any OTC NSAIS's for the pain for those injuries. I'm going to stop it, and go back to ibuprofen for the 6 weeks until surgery. F 52 45 days
