Reason: Lower back pain Date: 21 June 2006
Side Effects
Constant ringing in my ears (aspirin does the same thing, however).

Additional Thoughts
I use the generic piroxicam and it's somewhat more effective than aspirin for me. Doesn't eliminate my pain but does knock it down one or two numbers on the 1-10 pain scale. I take a Celebrex every 4th or 5th day to get at least one night's fairly decent sleep but use that sparingly due to its known heart complications. You absolutely must take Feldene with food or you will get a bleeding ulcer but then the same is true of aspirin.

Reason: fibromyalgia Date: 30 October 2006
Side Effects
On day one, I injested one capsule and developed large red hives on my upper chest and neck. Contacted the prescribing physician, a top rheumatologist in Los Angeles, and told him that I thought I was allergic to the Feldene. He said allergy could not develop in a day, only in weeks, and to continue taking the Feldene. Took the second and final capsule on day two. Developed Stevens Johnson Syndrome. New MD told me people die from it! Along with extremely painful burn like lesions on my face, hands, neck and torso,I also lost senses of taste and smell. Took three months to get back to work and about one year to recover as fully as possible.

none

Additional Thoughts
I've had hip pain for over 10 years, I can't lay on that side. First doctor diagnosed bursitis; I had 3 cortisone shots that didn't help. Second doctor diagnosed tendonitis and prescribed Feldene. It doesn't phase the pain at all. I'm beginning to wonder if I was given a placebo!

Side Effects
After taking 20mg for 7 days, I developed severe blistering rash on face, neck, chest and hands. Have been taking prednisone and zantac for the rash as well as benadryl, claritan, and cortisone cream for the intense itching for 4 days. Rash is worse each day. In this case, the cure is worse than the disease!
