Comment from: 25-34 Male on Treatment for less than 1 month (Patient)

Have had severe inflamation of my ankle, with constant mild pain and a few bouts of very profound pain. Medication appeared to help (decrease swelling and pain) after about 3-4 days of use. Published: May 10, 2008 ::

I have had gout since I was 45.  I am now 67.  I made the mistake of taking the first pill on an empty stomach.  Believe me, you do not want to do this.  Always take it after you eat.  I take it at night.  I have taken Indocin 75mg. SR daiky for the past 10 years with no side effects. I was recently put on Coumadin (Warfarin) and was told that I cound not take Indocin ever again. My pain became constant at about a 6 and I coludn't hold my violin. I finally convinced my cardiologist to allow me to take the Indocin, but he has restricted me to 7 days.

After discovering alergic reactions to other meds for gout, this was like a miracle drug for the Gout. Taken "as needed", a two month prescription lasted over five months and no "listed" side effects. It definately goes right to the source and almost instant pain relief.

I tried aproximately 15 non-steroidal anti-inflamatory meds over several years and this was the only one that has been great for my pain and I have not had any side effects. Published: February 20, 2008 ::

Comment from: 25-34 Male on Treatment for 1-2 years (Caregiver)

I suffer from left hip bursitis. as a 29yrd male this is rather deabilitating. The indocine was the best thing i could be given, at one time i would need to go to a doctor weekly for Toridol shots or to the ER for Dilaudid for inflamation control thsi relaly hit the nail on the head, my pain has been down to a 1 or 2 out of 10 complared to the consisten 8. The upset stomach is easy taken care of with a full meal befor taking the meds and the drwosiness ussually i fould would happen if I was dehydrated. Published: August 08, 2008 ::

Comment from: pab, 55-64 Female on Treatment for 10+ years (Patient)

I have pseudogout - since I was 28 years old, I am now over 60. This drug controls the outbreaks quickly. I go on for 4- 7 days as needed. It has been awhile since I needed to use it, but I couldn't walk last week and was put on Indocin again and was able to walk within 24 hours thank goodness. Published: December 09, 2008 ::

HAS ANYONE EVER EXPERIENCED WATER RETENTION WHILE TAKING THIS DRUG? Published: April 16, 2008 ::

Comment from: DesireeMD, 45-54 Female on Treatment for less than 1 month (Patient)

I have had an excellent experience with this medication! Less than 24 hours ago, I was experiencing profound pain in the joint of my big toe. The pain was constant and stabbing and I was unable to drive myself to the doctor. I called his office, and he called in a prescription for me. Within two hours of taking the medication, the pain was easing. It was completely gone when I awoke and is only just now, after my being on my feet for 7 hours, beginning to creep back in. I feel confident that an Advil will "tide me over" until I can take my next dose in five hours. Published: June 17, 2009 ::
