Inflammatory Conditions
"Injury in my letf glut = sciatica. Pain strikes without warning &amp; literally makes me gasp &amp; grab onto something. Then it&#039;s a constant throbbing / sharp pain shooting from butt to little toe. GOOD: 15mg at bedtime; 3 days = NO pain. No pain getting out of bed, no cringing at a flight of stairs, no  having to sit in Epsom salt baths until I&#039;m a prune - NO pain. BAD: I had never been constipated. Never. Until Mobic. I needed softeners,  fibre &amp; finally laxative = limited success. UGLY: real  10lb weight gain. Miserable/ want to faint 1000 calories a day for 3 weeks = 1 lb loss. 2 weeks off Mobic = all weight off but pain is back. 600mg ibuprofen = useless. So my choice is fat or in pain. Harder decision than you think. Maybe Tramadol?"
