"due to a recent accident my orthopedic doctor prescribed this for my knee swelling/bursitis condition. i&#039;m a 51yr-old female and after 2-3 weeks of taking this medicine i was experiencing hot flashes frequently about 5x a day especially at night that wakes me up, which never occurred before. i thought i was pretty young to be experiencing this, but this website was the second place where i researched this medicine where it states &quot;works by reducing hormones&quot; that explains my hot flashes recently. i still need to take a few more pills and swelling has subsided in my knee but do not intend to take this long-term."
