For Osteoarthritis "I have used etodolac for many years. When I don't take it, I have to think about my knees with every step. When I do take it, I can walk without being aware of my knees. For me it has been very helpful."

For Osteoarthritis "I was on Cymbalta. It worked some, but there were many times it wasn't too spectacular. I have very little or no pain when I take the Lodine 2x a day. There are times I only take it once a day because if my stomach is off, it can bother it. Otherwise, it works better than anything else I've been on."

For Pain "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."

For Pain "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."

For Pain "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."

"I had locked my jaw in place due to my TMJ. Lodine eliminated the inflammation and pain. It didn't tear up my stomach like ibuprofen and a couple of other meds did."
