I was taking 2400mg of ibuprofen daily with no help and now only two etodolacs a day. This drug has helped alot but sometimes have a stomach ache and need to reduce the amount to one pill until the pain goes away then fine with two again.

I take this for cronic pain and arthritis (2 per day). It makes me somewhat nauseas and dizzy at times. It only takes the edge off of the pain for me, but it does help with flexibility. Side effects can be hard to deal with.

This was prescribed for arthritis of the knees. I take two tablets a day with a regimen of glucosamine (1500mg)each day and the pain the the knees makes me move around with ease. I could not hardly walk and get up and down the stairs (moving like a turtle). I don't know just how long I can be on this medicine. The glucosamine helps rebuild the cartilage in the knees. Hope this helps.

It interferes with my Metformin, throwing me into low sugar within two hours of a big breakfast. It caused extreme dizzyness, changes in eye perception, and on day 7, hives on my back and back of legs.

seemed to help when I first started taking it but after about 4 weeks of occasional usage (as needed) it seems to be less effective. Taking for severe sciatic pain in my hip and leg.

I know that cronic pain from Arthritis is, "Mever-Ending", but I'ld just like to get enough relief to be able to, "Live-Again!" I've ben on this medecine for 2 years now, and as long as I take it, I'm better, but if I quit so that I can "Eat" then it's like I've started all over again.

Doesn't even get rid of a headache, nevermind a back ache and all the pain from fibromyalgia. I consider it a glorified Aleve.

This drug has side effects that takes several months to appear, be very cautious while taking this drug. I also missed some great things in my life because of this.

OMG .. before this drug came in to my life.. I would have episodic bouts of pain that were so excruciating.. sometimes I would be up for days at a time asking God to take the pain away or take me away. Yes, it was THAT bad. Etodolac was a true God send. Thank you Dr. Kheshgi!
