| 5 | Knee Osteoarthritis | I don't have any side effects from this drug. | I rub Pennsaid on my right knee twice per day, and it does work for hours. I still have to take Tylenol occasionally for persistent pain. I recommend this product. | M | 59 | 3 months 2X day | 9/7/2022 | 1 | Pain | Extremely severe and painful blistering rash all over the applied area. The rash required immediate medical attention. Will never use again! | Extremely severe and painful blistering rash all over the applied area. The rash required immediate medical attention. Will never use again! | F | 39 | 1 days 30mg 1X day | 8/7/2021 | 5 | Shoulder pain | Happiness | This stuff really works. After months of taking other medication, that was turning me into a zombie, I had relief in less than an hour. | M | 37 | 14 days 40 drops 3X day | 8/27/2013 | 5 | Knees | None | This drug enables me to be much more physically active with less dependence on pain relievers. I can bike at fairly high levels of intensity for as much as 25 miles. I haven't tried longer but I'm sure I could and getting to that level was a great accomplishment. I have had 6 knee surgeries including 2 partial replacements. Use it before exercise. Reapply after shower and before bed. Highly recommended! It has not eliminated the need for oral pain meds in all situatations but has helped. | M | 56 | 18 months 1.5% 3X day | 7/7/2012 | 1 | Hip bursitis | I only used it 3X but developed kidney pain each time and elevated BP. Within an hour of the last time I applied it, my heart rate jumped to 106 & my BP 145/95. I also experienced horrible anxiety. I thought I was going to have heart attack or stroke. | F | 51 | 1 days 10 drops | 3/21/2012 | 5 | joint pain in wrist and shoulder | My God,this stuff is great! Used on my extremely painful shoulder and within minutes felt relief.(I thought it might be the Advil I had taken earlier kicking in) However, several days later,had a flare with joint pain in wrist. Squeezed out a few drops and rubbed it in and pain relief was almost immediate.I read that this is prescribed for knee pain but my doctor gave me a sample because the voltaren has worked ok for me and I can't take Advil a lot because of the gastro effects. Boy,I love this stuff and will ask for a script next time I see the Rheumy. | F | 52 | 2 days 15 drops? 1X day | 1/8/2011 | 1 | knee swelling | M | 60 | 1X day | 11/28/2010 Patient History |
