This medication works very well for post-op swelling in my knee. However, it took so long for the medication to sustain itself in my bloodstream, that by the time it was constantly effective, it was time for a refill. Also, once I came off of it, the pain was immense, so I had to start all over again. It does the job, I just wish there was a less expensive means to this solution.

Given to me for hip pain. Has done absolutely NOTHING to help with pain. I might as well as eaten an M&M for all the help this stuff does. Worthless.

I have had Lyme Disease for 18 years and as I have gotten older (now 46) joint and muscle pain has become increasingly worse. In 2009 I was prescribed opiates and the like for pain, but they were not for me - This drug is the miracle pill for me, and, despite the warnings, sonograms, mri's and cat-scans show NO CHANGES in my cardiovascular system.
