I take this at 60mg once a day, it starts to work immediately, I get a couple of moments each day where I’m pain free but it is for short moments, for me I need a higher dose but I’m seeing neurologist in London end of this month and my rheumatologist doesn’t want to mask my other issues.

As for the side affects I don’t seem to have any of them but I do take

9 x 300mg gabapentin

8 x 30mg co-codamol

1 x 60mg Etoricoxib

3 x 20mg Baclofen

30mg lansoprazol

I have been on this concoction for a few months now.

Hi FibroLee , none of us on this forum are medically qualified to give advice on either health conditions, or medicines.

However, we can give our own personal experiences with our health or the medicines that we take.

Bare in mind that people have different reactions to meds, no two people’s experience will be the same.

Inside every box of pills there is a leaflet for the patient to read about the drug they have been prescribed. There is also a long list of side-effects that are scary to say the least. But, it only needs one person to experience a side effect and report it, for that to be added to the long list of SEs.

On the assumption that your Dr prescribed Enterocoxib for you, and they know your medical history, take it as advised, for as long as advised. To answer your question of how long before it works, probably I would imagine after a few doses.

Whether other people would take it, or not, doesn’t matter, it has been prescribed for you, and if you have any worries or concerns, ask your Dr or Pharmacist.

I hope it helps with your pain, and as we all know, we get to that stage where we would try anything legal to get relief.

Good luck.

GP. 😊😊

Thanks Zoonie, I did read the leaflet but the pain overrides the side effects right now as I'm struggling alot and have no other options

Hi Fibrolee

I'm on 90mg once a day & have been for quite some time. I think it worked quite quickly for me & is the only one that has after trying a few others. Hope you get some relief soon 🤗🤗
