Nabumetone "My doctor prescribed this twice a day for a month after receiving a steroid injection for a herniated disc at the L5, S1. It works great! I can now walk, sit, stand, etc., whereas I couldn't while suffering from sciatica. I'm only 30! I have had no side effects."

Nabumetone "I have not experienced any side effects whatsoever. I take 1500 mg every night after supper. I went from not sleeping due to pain in my right leg to sleeping the whole night through. Also, I had become so stiff, it was hard getting up and down out of chairs and out of the car. With this medicine, I am up and down like a normal 40-year-old, rather than an 80-year-old. I am so very grateful for this medicine."

"I have bilateral sciatica, and nabumetone taken at the recommended dosage on the bottle is ineffective for anything. Pathetic."
