Hi has anyone else had these and how did they find them? I have been given various pain relief by mouth but my stomach just does not seem to be able to cope. The doctor has said to try these for a week to see how i go and then come back. By reading the side effects they seem to be the same whether you take them by mouth or... the other end :roll: :roll:

    Crikey! They still use them? I was prescribed them over 40 years ago in an attempt to avoid the stomach problems of oral anti-inflamms. However, my RA actually started in my hands and I can promise you that arthritic hands and suppositories are not a marriage made in heaven :roll: I remember chasing them all over the bathroom floor :lol:
