3 | arthritis, fibromyalgia, foot pain | Constipation. I went from Relafen which was giving me diarrhea and cramping to Lodine which is giving me constipation. As far as pain relief its about as good as over the counter NSAIDS. | F | 55 | 2 months | 6/16/2007 | 4 | aching shoulder | No side effects | M | 70 | 4 days | 2/4/2007 | 1 | Lodine Linked to Stevens Johnson Syndrome | | 6/30/2006 | 4 | Osteoarthritis | None with Lodine XL.

It is not as effective as Vioxx, but does allow me to engage in daily activities. | F | 69 | 45 days | 2/25/2005 | 4 | pain in the jaw | None | None so far. | F | 70 | 5 days | 8/17/2004 |
LODINE XL (ETODOLAC): This medication is used to reduce pain, swelling, and joint stiffness from arthritis. Reducing these symptoms helps you do more of your normal daily activities. Etodolac is known as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking your body's production of certain natural substances that cause inflammation. 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.
