Increased hypertension, made my hips hurt is a different way, still had pain when trying to sleep. side effects: stiff neck, decreased urinary output, decreased appetite, insomnia were too much but when I read about it I was shocked to learn MAJOR ADVERSE CARIO EVENTS increased by ONE THIRD. I stopped taking it. Give me aspirin any day.

I'm 47 and have tendonitis and arthritis in both knees. It takes all I got to stand up and walk. I only tried for 2 days.i thought I had another blockage in my intestines! I'm going to try it one more time though and finish my script because my knee pain is really bad.
