indomethacin: 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.

indomethacin: 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.

indomethacin: 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.

indomethacin: 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): 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.

indomethacin: 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.

indomethacin: 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.

indomethacin: 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.

indomethacin: I took 2 x 25 mg for my gout pain, which was in my elbow and shoulders. It gave me great relief and I only take it when the pain arrives. It worked for me. Thank you.

Indocin (indomethacin): This medicine took the pain away very quickly, but then I had ringing in my ear which was very annoying. I stopped taking because I could not take this side effect.
