I am now being started on my 3rd anti-inflammatory in less then a year.  I
have had non-fun reactions to the other 2 (indocin and clinoril).  My
questions are:

1)  Is there any evidence that anti-inflammatories really help arthritis?
2)  What causes the bad reactions (nothing terrible, just feeling awful)?
3)  What side-effects do these drugs usually have?

I have not been on all of these for the arthritis (the indocin was
prescribed for a different problem) but 2 doctors have now prescribed them
for arthritis and related knee problems.
