I've been struggling with knee osteoarthritis pain for a while now, and my doctor recently prescribed Pennsaid 1.5% Topical Solution. I'm wondering if anyone here has used it and what their experiences have been. Specifically, I'm curious about how well it works for pain relief and if anyone has experienced any side effects. It seems like the possible side effects are scary just reading them, but are they common?

I was recently prescribed Pennsaid 2% Topical Solution for my knee pain caused by osteoarthritis. I've been applying it for a week now, and I'm curious to hear from others who have used it. How long did it take for you to see results? Did you experience any side effects? I've been trying to keep track of any changes in my pain levels and noticed a bit of relief, but it's hard to tell yet if it's just a placebo effect. I'm also worried about the potential side effects, like skin irritation or more serious ones I've read about. Any tips on how to apply it effectively or what to expect would be really helpful! I'm also curious about how it compares to oral NSAIDs I've tried in the past.
