I had rotator cuff surgery and after a month and a half of therapy I had gone back to the Dr. for a check up and told him I had been experiencing internal joint pain, and with Advil the pain would ease up so my Dr. prescribed Nabumetone so it wouldn't be as harsh on the stomach from extended use. It relieved the pain by 90% so it made movement much easier. I did notice after an extended period of ...
I had a severe allergic reaction to this medication. I was supposed to take two pills/day but was only taking one/day. While taking one/day I started experiencing several side effects but didn't realize it was the medication.

Diagnosed with joint disease & stenosis at the age of 25. Eight injections to my spine by the age 28 with 3 years of physical therapy. Back surgery in Feb 2012 to remove discs at age of 30. Nabumetone has helped me stay mobile & working when all other drugs have failed.

Dr. prescribed this to replace Motrin 800, three times daily. Don't see any differencewith this over the Motrin - both have left me with continued and constant pain. Back pain due to stenosis, birth defect and arthritis combined. Have been suffering for over 10 years now.

Was prescibed after having 2 scopes on the same knee. Medicine works for pain control, but not long enough for only 2 pills daily. I'm having a very hard time falling asleep and remaining asleep (huge problem). I'll get very stiff if I don't take it. I'm getting tired of dealing with this pain, but too young for a replacement.

I was experiencing significant, but not crippling, discomfort in my shoulder. Taking this medicine only made the symptoms worse--no improvement whatsoever. I will not be refilling the Rx.

Helped w foot lots. Very little help for back. Bruising easily. Mouth sores and seriosly flaking skin at joints. Contant headache. Is it worth it for foot pain relief? Still deciding. It's nice being able to walk. (Taking for 2 weeks. )

This medication greatly relieved my arthritis pain. I did experience some shortness of breath that may or may not have been related to the medication. I would still be taking it if it was not so expensive.

I have been taking it for about a week for inflammation due to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. My hands feel so much better, almost back to normal. But I have severe heartburn. I called my doctor and they told me to stop taking it, now I'm taking Pepcid AC to try to calm down the heartburn.

I went to Dr for shoulder pain and was given this medication to try. After reading all the reviews and side effects, I will not be using this medication.
