Daypro Reviews: What are patients saying about Daypro?

Daypro for Joint Inflammatory Disease in Children and Young Adults
Daypro has been essential in managing my osteoarthritis. It's been nearly four years since I've started taking it with no negative side effects. The only thing I sometimes experience is a little motion sickness, but that's not really a big deal. Not taking Daypro would mean being in constant pain and barely able to walk, so I'm very grateful for this medication.

Daypro for Joint Damage causing Pain and Loss of Function
I have tried going off of this medication before and the severe pain I experience as a result is enough to keep me on it. It's been 5 years now and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

I've been using this treatment for over a decade and a half. Each time I try to switch to something else, my pain gets worse. This medication doesn't completely eliminate the pain, but it does help dull it.
