| Add Aleve review I have back and hip pain. Take 440 MG 2 x a day and I don't have to take Hydrocodone which seems to cause severe constipation. Aleve relieves pain to the point I can avoid opiates. I took Aleve for knee inflammation. It did nothing for the pain but had to take it with food and worst of all it caused severe insomnia followed by crushing depression. Had very sore heel. Aleve helped somewhat in that I can walk without so much pain, but affected my stomach immediately causing bloating, stomach discomfort and constipation. | Add Mobic review After only 4 tabs I began to experience more swelling in the hands burning pain up my left arm, shoulder and across my chest. MY BP which runs in the 120's over high 60's shot up to 160's over 80's to 90's and persisted for several days after discontinuing usage. I have arthritis in my right knee due to a previous surgery. I am overweight and trying to lose, but while walking, the knee pain flailed up again. Dr prescribed to reduce pain and swelling. After a week, I started to itch all over, my tongue feels puffy and I'm going to the bathroom ALOT! I called my pharmacist and she told me to stop taking it cause I was having a really bad reaction! Plus, the ... seems to help with the pain , but makes me sick had to stop med My reaction to this medication: Red flushing of skin on face and chest after first dose. I was told to discontinue use. | |||
