"This has been helpful, thank goodness. Previously used Celebrex or meloxicam, which was once a day. Though this new medicine is prescribed two times day, I have found I can often pass on the second dose. Got a copay card from doctor, so no cost."

"I was have problems with my thumbs and wrist. Ihad this issue for a couple of years be I mentioned it to my doctor. She gave me samples of this drug to try, with in a couple of day my pain was gone not 100% but to a point I didn't notice it . I do recommend this if you can get it at a reduced cost, which I do ."

"The pill itself works wonderfully. However, the horrible gas, indigestion, frequent urination and chest pains are not worth it to me. I literally thought I was having a heart attack for hours. I took nearly 12 antacid pills to see if it was gas. Although I was some what relieved it was a terrifying experience. You really do have to choose your battles. The pain in my knee and back diminished but the chest pains. Deep sigh."

"This is the ONLY medication that helped with my inflammation, plus guarding my stomach issues. I so wish my insurance would cover it now. But a couple of years ago said it would no longer cover it, and there were no co-pay cards at that time."

"Have been taking this on and off over the last two years. I try to take it no longer than a month then take a break for a while. I genuinely have found its the only drug that helps me stay mobile. The codeine or stronger tablets make me whoozy and I can't function. This drug really keeps me clear and just allows me to move more freely with my back and hip pain."

"Waste of time taking this medication. No pain relief at all. I have returned to taking 500mg Naproxen which really does work for Arthritis flare ups."

"I'm still new to this medication, but it has been life-changing! I am able to do things that have been impossible the last few years, thanks to Vimovo. Methotrexate made me sick, Celebrex caused heart palpitations, but -- so far -- no side effects from the Vimovo. I highly recommend anyone with rheumatoid arthritis ask his/her doctor about using it as a possible treatment method!"
