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.

I've been using Nabumetone 750 2x day for the past two weeks & pain significantly reduced which feels ... Have bad knees, spine. And neck, serve pain, and tenderness. Was taking 2 a day for about two weeks noticed feeling swollen, then started getting itchy on head and face then my chest then it started working its way down my body. got welts and rash.Went to Drs., stop taking, allergic to the drug. Now can't take any meds with aspirin etc. Now, what! I need something for the inflammation and pain.ugh ... BEWARE OF THIS MED!!! (if allergy to any cillins, diabetes and more!) Arthritis in several joints. This drug does nothing to help lessen pain. | |||
