The side-effects of DOLOMED-MR on me were fast and furious. The drug was prescribed at a leading hospital in Nairobi, after recurrent left shoulder pain. I took the first pink tab at around 10.30pm after taking my supper. I started having Nausea the following morning and taking my breakfast so that I can take my second tab was a challenge. Immediately I took the second tab nausea worsened and I started vomiting. The previous night’s supper meal had not been digested. My entire body became weak and frail, started feeling cold and shivering; I had to take a bed rest for 3hours and stayed on without eating food just taking hot water until I feel well enough to eat. What’s the alternative medicine for this recurrent left shoulder pain?
