For Pain "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."

For Osteoarthritis "I have a neck injury that occurred many years ago, now I have arthritis in my neck because of the injury. I can no longer receive prednisone in my neck due to reaching the max limit, and now I have DDD. I also have developed osteoarthritis in my hands from many years of abuse, pumping blood pressure cuffs. I went to an orthopedic doctor 2 weeks ago for the pain (I have not gone to the doctor for pain in bones in a year, and before that, almost 30 years for my neck). He prescribed etodolac (lodine) 400 mg once daily. Well, I have a history of a heart attack and take 3 blood pressure medications. Why would a doctor prescribe a medication (NSAID) to someone so high risk? I don’t get it. I told him I have tried Aleve (against my better judgment), and it caused stomach pain and severe headache. Ibuprofen doesn’t work at all. Well, I guess I will have to live in severe pain when it flares up because I will NOT take the lodine. What a waste of money and time."

For Rheumatoid Arthritis "All the people on here saying about stomach pain, that's down to your doctor as they're supposed to give you a pill called omeprazole along with etodolac to protect your stomach."
