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 | 2 | Pinched nerves in arm | Some extra gas in stomach, painful, hiccups, heartburn, some stomach upset | I had a phone appointment and a doctor diagnosed me, but this med has not helped with pain at all.

Anxiety/depression worse. Acid reflux worse and trouble swallowing pills/vitamins on the day that I take it. | Has REALLY helped with controlling migraines and neck pain. Because of my age, I'm concerned about side affects so I'm now taking it every fourth day (50 mg) to see how that goes.
