I had rotator cuff surgery and after a month and a half of therapy I had gone back to the Dr. for a check up and told him I had been experiencing internal joint pain, and with Advil the pain would ease up so my Dr. prescribed Nabumetone so it wouldn't be as harsh on the stomach from extended use. It relieved the pain by 90% so it made movement much easier. I did notice after an extended period of ...
I had a severe allergic reaction to this medication. I was supposed to take two pills/day but was only taking one/day. While taking one/day I started experiencing several side effects but didn't realize it was the medication. I was having stomach pains, chest pains and pains in my left arm that resulted in my going to the ER and undergoing three days of testing to my heart, which turned out ok. I...

After getting COVID, I lost 80% of the cartlidge in my spine - basically quick onset osteoarthritis. I was so painful I could barely walk. I was already on painkillers and meloxicam for inflammation, but I was still very very dysfunctional. My doctor suggested and prescribed nabumetone (750 mg 3x daily.) Within two weeks, I feel almost normal!!! I was born with vertigo, so I get dizzy spells anyway and have treatments for that. So, I can't say if that is a side effect or my natural 24/7 dizziness. The pain relief; however, is so profound. I am very satisfied with this change. Also, I am in my 40's. The sliding scale would not let me scroll to that! Haha!Read More Read Less

I became very sick 4 days after taking this med. Chills, body aches, fever, headache, stomach ache, heart palpitations. I thought it was a virus until I took one 750 mg pill 3 weeks later and the following morning had all the same symptoms. I do not recommend this drug.

The drug was working wonderfully as an anti-inflammatory drug, however on the 3rd day I developed a rash with itching and some swelling. I couldn't take any more.

I had trauma on my knee. My Doctor prescribed Nabumetone (750 mg) as soon as I took it, within 45 minutes my throbbing pain was literally gone. 12 hours later, it was time for my 2nd pill of the day. Now things started to change. Immediately after taking my 2nd pill of the day,my eyes started getting a slight burning sensation (which went away after 20 minutes) and a slight warm sensation in my stomach (which went away also after 20 minutes). Luckily it was only prescribed for 3 days only. This medicine worked well for me, but it's risky taking it. So be AWARE...Read More Read Less

the side effects from this medication are really bad for me, causes more discomforts than its worth taking; when i awake in the mornings after taking it the night before, my stomach feels like I've been punched so hard in it, causing a struggle for me to raise up out of bed, my neck gets stiffer, ongoing leg and foot swelling, and not to mention the weight gain.

I have been taking this Rx for 10+ years with no side effects. I noticed if I forgot to take it for more than two days the pain comes back.

Taking 500mg twice daily for severe tendinitis in the shoulder. The pain is minimalized until the drug wears off, but the drug goes to work pretty quick—usually within 1/2 hour. I've been using the drug for 3 weeks with no apparent side effects. I'm able to do my PT exercises at home with a minimum of pain while on the drug.

I am suffering from Sciatica caused by disc growth in my lower back. I have not had one day in the last year when I did not have pain. This medication not only alleviated the pain tremendously, but also allowed me more mobility.

My doctor prescribed 750 mg to take as needed for my migraines. I get migraines most frequently during PMS and they can range from near-debilitating to annoying to debilitating. This medication worked for a few times and then it just kind of...stopped working at all. It hasn't reached the expiration date either.

The medicine worked wonderfully at first, with less effectiveness after 5 months. Now I have headaches and blurred vision after taking it and have had to stop. Don't know what I'm going to do for pain now.
