Reviews for nabumetone systemic to treat Back Pain

nabumetone: I have suffered chronic lower back pain (due to ankylosing spondylitis) for years, which I was treating it with Advil. After I was diagnosed with AS, my doctor put me on Relafen (Nabumetone). It's been 3 months now and my back pain has virtually disappeared! I only hope the side effects from taking this long-term are not severe.

Relafen (nabumetone): I have been saddled with sciatic pain off and on for over 15 months now. About a month ago, my Doctor switched me off of Naproxen and onto this drug. It seems to be a little more effective and I am only taking it twice a day. I would rate my daily pain level about a 3 on a scale of 10, and almost 0 an hour after taking this one tablet with a meal.

Relafen (nabumetone): I have arthitis in my lower back with spinal stenosis and an annular tear in my disc. I was prescribed 1500mg a day. As long as I take the full amount I have no more pain, cramping in my leg or sciatica. I have been taking half because I have dizziness and headaches. Still better than the pain.

Relafen (nabumetone): Upon starting the use of Relafen I have had less pain in my lumbar area. I have 2 discs that are shot and the inflamation and swelling I endured is practically gone. I make sure I eat something with the medicine but even when I haven't this medication has not bothered my stomach at all. No other anti-inflammatory medication has ever given me this much releif.
