| 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 | Add Meloxicam review Best medication for pain relief I have ever taken. I took Meloxicam for about 3 weeks then experienced extreme pain and weakness in both legs from hip to toes. Went off this drug for 3 months. My legs got better so decided to try the drug again. Within 2-3 weeks the pain in my legs has returned along with swelling ankles. I'm also very tired and have experienced the itchy skin. I'm not going to continue to take this medication. I felt better takin ... Have been taking about a month and it has done wonders for me. Had gotten to where I could hardly bend my right knee and standing for periods of time was difficult. I have almost complete movement and standing is much improved. Starting taking in combination with Baclofen. Excellent results. Only side effects are pain relief. I work out a lot and may be why not other side effects as others are experiencing, such as water retention, stomach pain (take with food) or other issues. If allows me to continue strenuous exercise, will take forever! Must exercise in life! | |||
