For Osteoarthritis "Duexis works for my arthritis and spinal degeneration/spurs. No issues with recurrence of stomach ulcers. However, the cost is so high until deductibles are met, it makes it prohibitive. At retirement, I will not have insurance at all and will not be able to afford."

"I was prescribed Duexis for bursitis and IT Band syndrome. After taking five tablets over two days, according to the directions and always with food, the effects were unbearable. I first noticed rapid weight gain, then severe stomach pain, and ultimately diarrhea, which was black and sticky. Wicked stuff. Stopped immediately, will resume with low doses of ibuprofen and naproxen. The only good thing I can say about it is that it did control my pain and provided a deep, restful sleep."

For Osteoarthritis "After receiving chemotherapy for an aggressive breast cancer in 2012, Aleve handled my joint and muscle pain for quite a while. When I began having stomach pain, I told my doctor, and he prescribed Duexis, twice per day. I have been on this dosage for several years now, and it is hard to function without it. I can move around freely, with no pain! Without it, I move (or more like DON'T move) like someone 90 years old (I'm 65). I am getting ready to start a generic and am praying it works as well."

For Osteoarthritis "Took for a week, within 3 days, I had major bloating and gas. Each day got worse and stomach pain, unbearable. I'm on my way to urgent care now."
