"I have severe osteoarthritis in my left knee since an infection from surgery in 1972. I started using Feldene around 1983 when I had a severe flare-up of pain. I have a strong aversion to pills of any sort, but I regard Feldene as a miracle drug. My pain cleared up in days. A 30-day supply would last me for better than a year since I would only take it when needed. I've found that it works best when taken in conjunction with exercise because it is the exercise that is the true 'cure' for the problem. It seems to smooth the arthritis and perhaps provide other natural relief. The Feldene makes the activity more tolerable and leads to a faster cure. When I get lazy and inactive, the problem comes back."

"Taking 20mg of Feldene with a small snack to lessen any irritation and has helped the inflammation of osteoarthritis in my spine. I have had pretty good results by paying attention to that. That said, NSAIDs have their limit as far as advanced OA goes and I have had to add other things but it does what it's supposed to do, reduce inflammation pain. One happy side effect, reduced monthy pains at that time of the month."

"Have used it for about 15 years as the condition is progressing. Only use it until pain subsides and stop as soon as I can. The maximum time required has been one week, and in most cases, two or three days are sufficient. There have been long periods between the strong pains, and I wait for it to be quite bad before using medication, so I do not want to overuse and lose the ability to use the milder drugs."
