"I've got some sort of longstanding knee injury that will sporadically act up. Etodolac 400 mg twice a day (along with Prevacid 15 mg once daily) is the only thing I can take that actually treats the pain without giving me severe stomach pain."

"Side effects of etodolac included indigestion, constipation, painful urination, pain in kidneys, pain in the chest below the breastbone, and mental confusion. I had to stop usage in about a week. Horrible stuff. Stay away."

"I was prescribed this after I got a root canal on my bottom back molar or number 30. It does help with the pain, but it makes my stomach hurt very badly and causes me to feel a little weird. I am sensitive to pharmaceuticals, but I still try, hoping I can find something that helps. I'd almost prefer the tooth pain over the stomach pain, but the tooth pain sucks. Especially since I am unaware when I start grinding my teeth, I've ground that bottom tooth twice now and am kicking myself. Anyway, this did help with the pain, it didn't take it all away."

"I have taken etodolac 500 mg for years for occasional lower back pain due to a herniated disc. It has worked every time with absolutely no side effects. None. Higher doses of naproxen work but irritate my stomach. It is a cheap generic and has been fantastic for me."

"Etodolac is the only NSAID I can take for my bursitis that does not result in upset stomach or rebound headaches. I am 76, so I only need 250 mg a night, which means I have to cut the pills in half. Despite this inconvenience, I wouldn’t want to be without it."

Etodolac "Lower backache, the doctor said it was arthritis. I have not yet done x-rays, but after 2 weeks the pain has completely subsided. So have other joint aches, which I guess I had ignored."

Etodolac "It is the only NSAID I can take without setting off my asthma. It kills the pain and allows me to walk. No more choosing between breathing and walking."

"Until now, this is the only medicine that has helped with my pain in any way. It is now livable with little to no pain most days. For more than 5 years, I've had pain."

Etodolac "I was prescribed Lodine for pain and stiffness. For the two days I took it, I was pain-free, marvelous, but I suffered a side effect of diarrhea and have stopped it."

"The dentist prescribed it to me after a really rough wisdom tooth removal. Took away the pain and swelling completely. Never got such great results from any other painkiller."

"Usually don’t post reviews, however, etodolac made me very sick. Awful stomach ache, body aches, and fever. Stopped taking after 3 doses. I was hoping it would work. Oh well."

"I was prescribed this for a toothache and swollen jaw, and it did nothing for the pain. It was equivalent to taking an aspirin. I'm guessing the E.R. doctors don't know what they are doing."
