| 5 | 0 days | 2/26/2018 | 5 | | 6/13/2002 | 4 | Gout | I felt tired and a bit spaced out.Upset my stomach as well. | I am taking 2 x 25mg a day.Made it hard to go to work as i was so spaced out.Did help with my gout though. | 42 | 4 days 25MG | 6/22/2019 | 2 | Gout | Headache, Diarrhea | Has not eased pain and burning in hands | 52 | 4 days 25 mg | 12/15/2018 | 1 | hemicrania continua & cluster hdach | lightheadedness, palpitations, drowsiness, lethargy. blurred vision | Initially gave some relief to the hemicrania/cluster headache combo that I have with 1 25mg per day. That worked for a couple of weeks, but eventually had to start increasing dosage to 3X/day and then I started with side effects; which now already outnumber the reason for initially taking it. No stomach upset as I take Zegerid daily. I also had a nerve block injection to help relieve the daily pain. Neither the Indo nor the shot has worked. I still have the daily headaches. Could be the fact that headaches are still daily is also a side effect of the Indo so, as of today, I am going off the Indo since the side effects are mounting up. I will try a 2nd nerve block to see if it works without the Indo. | 68 | 45 days 25 mg 3X day | 12/10/2012 | 1 | | 6/14/2007 | 1 | For joint pain | This medicine made me sick and had headache. I am already a migraine patient and this medicine made my condition worse. | 44 | 1 days 25mg | 9/4/2014 | 5 | gout | I had been having SEVERE pain in my left foot for about a month. I stand on my feet at work and usually worked through it but when the pain became so severe st night that the weight of a simple bed sheet woke MW from a dead sleep I finally went to my doctor. I took the first dosage at bedtime, within a few hours of eating, woke in the middle of the night to use the bathroom and the pain had lessened so much I was ecstatic!!!! Love it! | F | 52 | 2 days 75 | 7/30/2014 | 5 | Groin Injury | Felt better within 2 hours of the first dose. Minor flare ups after exercise but nothing that icing couldn't resolve. This medication saved my skating career. Thankfully I have not had any of the side effects that others have reported on this site; it's amazing how the same drug can effect people so differently. | F | 42 | 6 weeks 25 3X day | 2/6/2015 | 5 | Hermicrania Continua | Nausea if I didn't eat . Always must eat with it. Lil bloating and needing toilet a bit more. Memory loss a little. | This drug worked great for me and I thought I'd be on it forever. I'm very excited to say that 6 days ok I got some type of muscle relaxant injected at the nake of my neck and have not had to use this anymore. It's a miracle and I recommend to hermicrania suffers to ask your dr about injection . I feel amazing!! | F | 35 | 1 years 25 mg 3x | 2/11/2015 | 5 | back pain | better then alot of other drugs i have used | F | 45 | 4 weeks | 6/27/2009 | 5 | joint pain severe inflammation | Lite headed & sleepy, take 1 at nite. This is truly a miracle drug for me. | I have recommended it for many yrs I was in late 20's nothing else has ever worked for me. | F | 62 | 10 years 75mg | 9/21/2015 | 5 | Arthritis | Love this....the aches disappear... However...when i skip a dose...my whole body aches.... | F | 57 | 2 years 50mg 2x da | 7/15/2016 | 5 | Primary stabbing headaches | A bit dizziness, some tiredness | I was suffering from ice pick headaches 6-8 times a day about 4-5 times a week. These began suddenly and they are a form of migraine that attack in middle age. If you have these, you know how unpredictable, debilitating, and much they can interfere with your work and life. Any small side effects of a drug are worth the prevention of these headaches for me. | F | 49 | 1 months 25MG 3Xday | 3/25/2017 | 5 | Rheumatoid Arthritis | Light headed. | This drug has been my pain killer for over 20 years. It's great. No other drugs work. Been told is no longer manufactured? I'm trying something else now but I feel terrible and I really would like to know if it has in fact stopped being manufactured. | F | 45 | 1 years 75mg R | 4/3/2017 | 5 | sever headaches for 5 years | Stomach cramps for the first week | Followed docs rules drink full glass of water and food prior to taking medication and take it on schedule. First time in 5 years I have gone with out sever headaches. just slightly concerned about the long run. | F | 45 | 45 days | 1/23/2008 | 5 | Paroxysmal Hemicrania | Dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue and slight nausea. However, absolutely worth it as it has stopped the almost daily excruciating headaches I usually suffer. Am now pain-free. Drug has changed by life and with relatively mild side-effects. | CH patients should ensure you are given the Indomethacin test as PH can be easily confused with CH and misdiagnosed, as in my case. Indomethacin will sort it out almost immediately if you have PH. | F | 35 | 14 days | 1/31/2008 | 5 | possible spondylitis - lower back | mild dizziness first 1/2 hour after taking, but only notice this when lying down. forts week or so I had bad gas and some diarehea and 2 days of mild stomach cramps because of the gas. Still get this occasionally. Drug works well and pain is usually completely gone. I take the EG extended release. I definely notice when it is wearing off as the nagging lower back pain and stiffness returns. A couple of times it stopped working for some reason but resumed working the next day. Must take with food because of the stomach issues. Particulalry notice that i can now stand for more than 10 minutes with the back ache and extreme stiffness which is a miracle after 5 years. | Be patient as your body gets used to the drug, take with food, don't lie down 1/2 hour after taking. Side effects are mild. It helps if you take on a schedule | F | 43 | 30 days | 11/23/2008 | 5 | gout | None noted | I thought this a miracle drug for my gout. I also use 50mg PRN for severe lower back and muscle pain when OTC drugs no longer help. Will not take regularly, due to fear of eventual GI bleed. | F | 55 | 6 months | 2/13/2009 | 5 | ankylosing spondylitis | Bit dizzy. | This drug has been a life-saver for me. I could (just) cope with AS by taking over the counter pain killers until I had a work accident and tore a disc in my lower back. After that the pain was terrible everyday! I only take suppositories and only one at night (as it makes me a bit dizzy about 1 hour after taking it). I take about 1 per week. I've would never consider anything else. | F | 47 | 15 years | 3/26/2009 |
INDOMETHACIN (INDOMETHACIN): Indomethacin is used to relieve pain, swelling, and joint stiffness caused by arthritis, gout, bursitis, and tendonitis. It is also used to relieve pain from various other conditions. This medication is known as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking your body's production of certain natural substances that cause inflammation. This effect helps to decrease swelling and pain. If you are treating a chronic condition such as arthritis, ask your doctor about non-drug treatments and/or using other medications to treat your pain. See also Warning section.
