I have fybromyalgia. Pain is constant. I tried this NSAID to see if it would relieve the pain in my hips and back. I was actually down in bed, I rested and took the Zipsor and was able to go out that evening and I felt fine. The pain had gone away.

I use this medication for severe menstrual pain and it has worked great. I have to take it before the pain gets too bad because if I wait until I am in killer pain, the medicine takes too long to start working. Overall I would recommend it.

I have been experiencing chronic pain in my knees from developing osteoarthritis for the last year after my RA went into remission. This has been the only NSAID that has worked to relieve pain and swelling.

Helps with the sciatic pain from spinal stenosis but about 5-6 hours after taking I get terrible gas pains and heartburn. Talked to Pharmacist today and he suggested taking Prilosec with it but I don't know if I want to take so many meds.. Will wait and talk to Dr. and probably stop taking the Zipsor as the stomach pain is worse than the back pain it is helping.

I have been dealing with Plantar Faciitus for 5 months. I have taken several anti-inflamatory drugs (with not much success)and 2 injections in my heal. Pain and inflamation was bad in the morn and would get worse during the day. My Dr. give me a sample of Zipsor and within hours the pain was getting better. After 1 week the pain and inflamation is almost gone.

This medicine has been a life saver. I have severe pain in my feet and could hardly walk for any length of time. I take only one pill a day and I am able to walk normal and not limp and grit my teeth like I had previously. I love the fact I can get up in the morning and walk without pain.

I have a lot of pain from playing hockey. I take Zipsor about an hour before my game and then the morning after. It really helps with the inflammation and pain.

I injured the pyriformis muscle playing golf and developed the pyriformis syndrome with acute sciatica. The pain was almost unbearable. Zipsor took about an hour to start to work but it worked great as a pain killer and anti-inflamatory. Had no side effects, drowziness or sleepiness like I have with other pain killers. It does give a mellow feeling which seems to relax me to a comfortable degree.

I am a 78 year old woman with SEVERE lower back pain due to multiple injuries throughout my lifetime. Could barely walk and in constant pain. Have been on zipsor for a short while. Can't believe how it helped. I have little pain at night and a lot less during the day. I am limiting myself to one 25 mg pill at night.

I have been using Zipsor combined with Morphine, Norco and Tizanidine. I am now into my 3rd month and it's not as good as it was the first month or so but does help me but making me sleepy and I hate that part but it's better than the pure hell I have been going through. I have five herniated disc's in my lower back and C-2 through C-6 is as well and I also have stenosis and Osteophytes on many joints.

I suffered from an impingement of the nerve root exiting the left side of T10-T11. I was prescribed a combination of Zipsor and Skelaxin. The combination provided no discernible reduction in pain. However, I did experience substantial stomach and intestinal pain. The gastrointestinal pain ceased within 12 hours of the last dose of Zipsor. Overall, this was a rather unpleasant experience.

Started taking this for Buraitis in my hips which has rendered it impossible for me to exercise at all. I started this drug in the morning, my pain level was an 8. By the afternoon it was a 1. I am now pain free and walking at least three miles a day. However, the drug may be interferring with my ulcerative colitis.

I was given a sample by my orthopedist to see if it would help with a congenital and degenerative neck problem. Then I was given a prescription, it worked for a little while, but the effectiveness is on the weak side. I am still in a great deal of pain, even with the current dosage of 4 pills a day. My pain did subside for the first couple of weeks, but has returned to ranging from 5 to 10 on a daily basis. Looks like it's back to square one for me.
