I was taking hydrocodone and Indocin for pain relief. It was working pretty good. The I got diagnosed with a probable slow GI bleed. They base that on my recurrent severe anemia. GI doctor told me to stop taking Indocin, which is an NSAID and can prevent blood from clotting when you need it to. So I stopped it.

For a good while, I didn't feel any the worse. The good you get from Indocin stays with you for a while after you stop taking it. Well that wore off, and now I'm sore as heck.

I can't take Indocin, if it's going to make me anemic. But I miss taking it so bad. That was my miracle drug. Indocin is prescription only because it can have awful side effects, but it sure did work. Without it, I feel miserable. I am staying in bed way too much. I'm getting awful depressed.
