For Rheumatoid Arthritis "Very bad knees. Only been taking it for 2 weeks. Not much help so far. I do have very bad headaches in morning. May be a side affect. But I will keep trying it for a while. I really want it to work for me also very expensive but it will be worth it if it works. I have had extensive back surgery. My back is not in pain just my knees. It may have helped my back a bit."

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."
