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

"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."

"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."

"Spending 8-12 hours a day on cement floors teaching, I developed inflamed heel tendons, a sort of tendonitis. I could hardly put any weight on my heels, so my arches and balls of my feet were taking the brunt of it. I was getting lots of foot and leg cramps. The podiatrist gave me heel cups to wear and Lodine to take twice a day. It worked super well for me. I always need to drink or eat with the pill, but then no side effects I've noticed. It just eliminates the pain within about ten minutes. It can come back quickly, though, if I do things that will make the problem worse, i.e., walking the dog, bending over to do gardening, going for a walk, lifting too much weight. Later on, I developed osteoarthritis, and I've been taking the Lodine as needed for the pain. I like that it's non-addictive and it works for me completely. Walgreen's stopped providing them, and I don't know why. I'm going to look into it because I really need them when I need them."
