Indocin (indomethacin) for Osteoarthritis: I started with 2 x 25 mg capsules a day. After 2 days I really feel my knees are out of pain. I hope the effect will remain after leaving the medicine.

indomethacin for Gout, Acute: I use to eat spicy foods and very rich foods that cause my gout to act up. I couldn't even walk up the stairs. I woke up one morning and called my doctor. She recommended Indomethacin to me and in less than a week the pain was gone and I could move my knee with no pain. It really works.

Indocin (indomethacin) for Pain: If your stomach can tolerate this it is great for arthritis. I have taken for over 20 years. Everytime I try anything else I end up in pain.

indomethacin for Gout, Acute: I have had acute attacks of gout in my right foot. Soo painful a sheet laying on my foot would be intolerable. If taken at the FIRST sign of pain, and not letting it get full blown I can cut the cycle off quickly (1 day). I also have shoulder pain in both shoulders...If I take Indomethacin every 3-4 days or so (1 75 mg capsule) I can eliminate this pain as well. Light headedness for about 8 hours is sometimes a side effect but nothing more.

Indocin (indomethacin) for Rheumatoid Arthritis: Before taking Indocin aches and pain are felt throughout my joints. When I take it at night I sleep better and the following day I feel the pain is diminished by 60% or better. I stop taking them after 3 to 4 days and start when the pain gets unbearable.

indomethacin for Gout, Acute: I've had gout in my foot twice. Last night my KNEE began to hurt. Intense pain when trying to walk. My doctor prescribed Indomethacin 50 mg three times a day. I could walk easily after the first dose of medicine. Good stuff.

Indocin SR (indomethacin) for Ankylosing Spondylitis: By almost completely controlling the inflammation, full mobility with little or no pain was returned, including increased energy and thought processes.

indomethacin for Pain: Older drug, but the cadillac of anti-inflammatory drugs.

indomethacin for Gout, Acute: I use this medication for gout. I don't think I could survive without it. For me it does not work fast but better late than never, usually 24-36 hours for relief.

Indocin (indomethacin) for Gout, Acute: Indocin or indomethacin in my opinion is very effective in relieving gout symptoms. Taking 25mg at my first opportunity (the point where I convince myself that I did nothing to stub my toe and it is a gout attack) quickly reduces the pain. I have not experienced the stomach pains or paranoia that the previous post talks about. I always take this medicine with food and drink as directed by my physician.

Indocin SR (indomethacin) for Tendonitis: I have a lot of inflammation relief with Indocin. The problem is that I can only take it every other day. I am 37 and very active, train Brazillian Jiu Jitsu 2 days a week. Get tendinitis in my shoulders easy. I would recommend this medicine.

indomethacin for Gout, Acute: I get gout several times a year. I play a lot of tennis and I seem to get the gout in my toes, knees and wrist. I try and take this medicine as early as possible and usually I can get relief within 2 days. 50 mg 2-3 times a day. I do get light headed and I notice my blood pressure goes up about 10 points.

Indocin (indomethacin) for Pain: I can not longer use Imitrex or related drugs for migraine pain due to heart issues. In searching for an alternative migraine treatment, my doctor prescribed Indocin. Alone Indocin can't relieve migraine pain, but combined with Midrin, I get relief. I'm in the midst of weekly migraines. They had been reduced with Midrin, but still lasted days. Now, combining the two, I can break the migraine cycle.

indomethacin for Back Pain: For back pain, this is the Cadillac. Fast acting, low cost, no side effects for either me or my wife. Most often used for lower back pain, usually of unknown cause. We start to use it after 1 day of pain that doesn't go away. Never need to use it for more than 2 days; often works within several hours. Always taken with a meal. ABSOLUTELY no side effects. Works when even the most expensive prescribed medications don't.

indomethacin for Gout, Acute: Two years ago, I had my first bout with Gout, in my right foot. Last week, to my surprise, I had Gout, in my right wrist. This medicine relieved the swelling in 2 days, but I had severe runs with it, and an upset stomach.

Indocin SR (indomethacin) for Ankylosing Spondylitis: It's effective in controlling the pain and inflammation related to ankylosing spondylitis, for about 16 hours and then it's followed by headache and return of pain and inflammation. I've been using it for four days now and will be switching to 2 x day.

indomethacin for Cluster Headaches: Helps with pain when used with some other pain medications. Sort of boosts effects of vicodin or even helps by itself.

indomethacin for Gout, Acute: Be careful with Indomethacin. It makes me very sick, nauseous, with a feeling of dizziness. It made me pass out 3 times and really worried me. I did an MRI, EKG, blood test to determine the cause of fainting and it turned out to be the indomethacin. The lesser of two evils, gout pain or getting sick to your stomach and fainting.

Indocin IV (indomethacin) for Pain: I.H.S. gave this to me and it does not work. I was taking 800mg ibuprofen but it started to hurt my kidneys.

indomethacin for Ankylosing Spondylitis: When taken with Valium, you have the perfect combination for relief from Ankylosing Spondylitis. Indocin reduces the swelling and the Valium decreases the spasms and cramping.
