For Pain "I have dysplasia in both hips at 34. Need a PAO surgery on right hip and hip replacement on left, this has also caused sciatic problems from walking with a limp for so long. I have tried numerous pain medicines and although I did not have any noticeable side effects with the Zipsor, it did no more for me than taking 2 Aleves. Maybe because my pain is bone related with the addition of torn cartilage and nerve problems? Glad that it works so well for some. Anything to get off of narcotic medicines and the crutches pre-op would be nice! So, for me and my dysplasia Zipsor has not been the miracle I was hoping for."

For Muscle Pain "I have been taking one Zipsor after breakfast every day for years. I take it for fibromyalgia pain and muscle pain. I have traveling pain. I don't know if it helps or not. However, it is the only NSAID that I can take that doesn't exacerbate my inflammatory bowel disease. Maybe it's the reason why I'm sleepy during the day. I figure I need some kind of anti-inflammatory, and Motrin and Aleve both cause stomach problems. That would be ibuprofen and Naprosyn. So I just take this. I'm on the Patient Savings Program, so it doesn't cost anything. Maybe I'll start taking what after dinner and see if that helps me even more. But the best thing for me is a quarter tablet of hydrocodone. 2.5 mg."

"ZIPSOR.. FINALLY SOMETHING HELPS. I have had such bad sciatica for years one Doctor wants to do back surgery. I have tried Vicodin, oxycodone, acupunture, acupressure, even Reiki to no avail. Nerve blocks help only a week or so. I swear by Zipsor. I have been able to walk around, garden and clean my house once again. It's been so long since I was actually able to have a full day with no pain. I was prescribed 2 tablets twice a day. I take 2 in the morning and 1 at lunch time. It's all I need. Life is good again."
