I used it for years. It's an antiinflammatory med. Just be careful it can cause kidney damage, which I have now

I took it way back and didn't help with pain but it did cause me to bruise just like taking Motrin a long time. I took myself off of it.

I took it for 3 years many years ago for back pain. It helped a lot. However, I started to get chronic inflammation of the stomach all of a sudden and had to stop taking it. It's like a high powered Motrin.

So I've been on it for a year now .. Don't let yourself run out bc you'll definitely be in pain if you do. My doctor gave it to me for arthritis pain. I feel like it helps a great deal.

I took it for 3 days. I vomited the entire 3 days, horrible stomach pains. As soon as I stoped it, the symptoms quickly disappeared. I'll never taken it again. I have a sensitive stomach anyway. I take protonix and Zofran daily. I know it does help some people though, but my stomach couldn't tolerate it.
