For Osteoarthritis "I had a severe reaction to this drug. I initially thought it was a virus (but stopped taking the med). Chills, body, aches, fever, heart palpitations, headache, loss of appetite, stomach ache, exhaustion and strange sharp pains in my leg and head. Not realizing it was a reaction from nabumetone, I took one pill a few weeks later and had the same reaction, although milder."

For Muscle Pain "Since my radiation treatments I have developed bad muscle aches and attacks making me feel as if my body was leaving me. Nabumetone has done a good job of reducing the pain and attacks, but I am careful to take it with food and 40 mg of Omeprazole"

Relafen (nabumetone) "I have rheumatoid arthritis, spinal stenosis with cramping and pain in right leg along with a right torn gluteus for several months. I have been suffering daily with pain in lower back, right gluteus, and right leg. When my orthopedic prescribed Relafen (generic name: nabumetone), I love it with no side effects. It has been helping tremendously, and I am so thankful for the relief. I definitely recommend it."

For Osteoarthritis "Diclofenac Sodium was being prescribed before Namubetone, My conditions worsened over a period of 2 days. I then switched back to Diclofenac Sodium and I'm still in some light pain but it's almost tolerant."
