I was prescribed this medication for a shoulder injury w/nerve impingement. It is the only medication that has given me relief and has added some range of motion to the shoulder. It did take a few days to notice relief but now that I've been on it for about a week, I notice a big difference.

I was prescribed this medicine for elbow pain and to reduce swelling due to minor gout. It did reduce swelling and the pain was minimized in my elbow and knee(side issue). It did not stop all of the pain but it did reduce the level.

I was prescribed this medicine for elbow pain and to reduce swelling due to minor gout. It did reduce swelling and the pain was minimized in my elbow and knee(side issue). It did not stop all of the pain but it did reduce the level. After taking this medicine for approximately six (6) weeks, I noticed severe swelling in my right ankle/foot and some in my left ankle/foot. I took the medicine for about two (2) more weeks and it just got worse. I also begin to notice that I was gaining weight. I completely stopped taking the medicine and the swelling started to go down immediately. After about a week my ankles/foot looked normal. I also begin to urinate more frequently and I lost a bloated look that I was beginning to get. After I stopped taking the medicine for the first several days my whole body ached with pain. I have been off the medicine about a week and the pain has subsided. When I go to my Dr. next week we'll see what's next. But no more VIMOVO for me. The swelling and pain in ankles/feet was scary.

Comment:
Second day of treatment the pill apparently got lodged in my stomach. History significant for prior Lap Band surgery and the lodged pill caused a severe coughing episode that nudged the Band causing GI restriction. Symptoms consistent with too tight banding. Resolved after Upper GI study and removal of 1cc saline from the band. No other treatment and no further problem. Scary at the time.

Comment:
Prescribed by nurse-practitioner due to pain (severe burning sensation) in my upper abdominal muscle after a 5 set tennis match and physical contact with another player. For a few days it seemed to help me to rest or sleep and reduced the ab pain; but after about 4 days, I now am having severe muscle cramps in the middle of my back. What's up doc? I don't think Vimovo has helped me.
