pain
"Painful osteoarthritis in both thumbs; Celebrex works but side-effects terrifying. GP prescribed these. I expected same relief with fewer side effects (s-e's)--possible s-e's turn out to be same.  Have used for only 24 hours with some pain relief.  But try cutting these in half and wrapping around thumb down to lower joint, surprised they stay on fairly well but they are ugly white, I can't wear out of the house.  Besides, nowhere does it say they are for arthritis pain, just minor aches, sprains, strains etc.  Afraid to use continually or long term due to s-e's.  Terribly expensive for just an NSAID with terrible potential side-effects. (1 box with insurance $140, on retirement)"
