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.

After years of running over 25miles a week and lots of rucking miles my body is trashed! I have osteoarthritis in my back and hip, arthritis in my hands, neck, knee and both ankles. Have tried absolutely every medicine possible. This is the only one that has provided relief. I took it in the pharmacy parking lot by the time I got home I was already feeling relief.

I had been in severe pain in my knee for 4 months. The second opinion Dr. finally figured out what was going on and then prescribed me Etodolac 400mg. I can not describe how well it has worked for me. By the second day I was feeling 75% better. I have been on the medication now for 2 weeks and I am 100% better. It has been a life saver for me.

I was prescribed this medication due to pain in my left knee due to loss of meniscus and swelling. I have noticed it has kept the swelling down and it has also helped with my back pain as I also have slipped and herniated discs. It's so nice to be able to do things around the house without thinking about pain. I would recommend you giving this a try for a good month I'm sure you will be glad you did. It says to take 1 pill twice a day, but I only take 1 every night and it is working well.

Honestly, only takes the edge off. I've tried meds that kick more, non narcotic. I get alot of nausea and diahrea with this meds though, so pain for being stuck in the bathroom, depends how bad my pain is.

However after using for 20+ years for fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis I now have liver problems,Excessive bilirubin in urine but all tests normal,so I am not taking Lodine to eliminate possible causes of my current problem.It does say it can cause liver problems but so can many drugs.Its hard without it as it is effective.

I used Etodolac for hip pain; tendonitis was the diagnosis. It gave me a full, nauseous feeling, but it did not relieve pain any more than ibuprofen or aspirin. It did do better than naproxin sodium.

I was prescribed this for my fibromyalgia. On days where my pain level is tolerable, this medication is fine, but on days that I have more pain, I find myself being worse off. This is mainly because I can't even take BC Powder to help me out. I'm literally stuck with more pain and can't do a thing about it. Not worth it.

It's a placebo as far as I'm concerned. Ibuprofen has a better effect than this stuff

I got this very expensive pills for joint/tendon pain. Dr's aren't sure whats wrong yet. I felt they worked no better than ibuprofen. I had no side effects, and they did help the pain a bit, but, they take a few hours to even feel some pain relief. For the price, I dont think they are worth it. ibuprofin kicks in faster and works just as well.

It reduces almost all of my pain. Does not eliminate but I am much more comfortable I was told to cut down to 2 pills a day but I can not. I need 3 full pills to control the pain. It works better on ME - than Clebrex, Mobic and Valtarin. No comparison.

Injured my lower back playing basketball. MRIs showed no disc damage but nerve tests confirmed the problem. Serious pain in my lower back and all the way down my leg. Took many months to get over and etodolac was pretty much the best of many meds I tried. Muscle relaxers did next to nothing. Tramadol not much either. This drug allowed me to get back to work.
