Reviews
| Add Diclofenac review Very effective with no obvious side effects, until the bleeding started. Cannot take NSAIDS. I have degenerative discs in my lower back and bone spurs in my neck. The result is neck pain and sciatic leg pain. Although not pain free, this drug has improved my mobility quite a bit (I can walk at a normal pace without a limp) When taken with 5mg Hydrocodon I'm nearly pain free. I am experiencing ringing in my ears, but this has been the only side effect thus far. Wish I would have had a ... my dad took it and it made im itch. it was very ineffective. No side effect s noticed I have been on this drug for the pain in my shoulders. It has been wonderful!!! I have no pain no symtoms of anything going on elsewhere. I really am very happy with this med. | Add Ibuprofen review I have a nerve pinched in socket of shoulder. So I have pain at joint, radiating numbess to middle finger. Ibuprofen usually works, I was prescribed 800MG 3 times daily. Occasionally the pain exceeds the strength of the meds. I went in for a CAT scan the other day on throat and from a small IV recieved a bruise 4 inches long, and 1 inch wide. I am also expierencing nausea pretty much full time. I ... sore back around kendiys Used after operation for broken arm. Pretty useless to relieve pain. Prescribed by doctor. The ibuprofen can only remedy so much especially with the inflammation. It is hard when it wears off about 4 hours later because the pain comes back even more intense. The pain that I am treating is bulging discs. I do not know what else to do because the hardcore pain medicine cannot be used at work since it causes sleepiness. Very effective Not as good as the 800 mg but overall good on common head and body pain | |||
