"i have fibromyalgia and was first prescribed gabapentin, which helped some of my issues, but i needed something more to ease my widespread pain. my doctor than added etodolac 400 mg every 6 hrs as needed. at first i only took it periodically but i didn&#039;t see results. then i began taking it 3 times spread throughout the day. i can now move and walk and my pain has almost disappeared. i did have some bloating and gas side effects, but can totally tolerate that versus the pain that i was in."
