"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 bad and causes me to feel a little weird. I am sensitive to pharmaceuticals but I still try, hoping I can find of 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 re-bound headaches. I am 76 so I only need 250mg a night which means I have to cut the pills in half. Despite this inconvenience, I wouldn’t want to be without it."

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

Lodine (etodolac) "I had left shoulder hurt when I was a child. About 20 yrs ago, my DR. gave me samples of Lodine. They worked better then any other NSAID out there. I am going back on it now as the problem is worse."

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

"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."
