Hi
I've been put on indomethacin for headaches. This is my 3rd week of having it. After about a week to week and half of being on it I started getting tingling sensations in my hands and sometimes in my feet. They on and off (about 1/2 hour at a time) almost every day. I did get some tingling before I was on the med but not as constantly.
Is this a side effect of indomethacin or could it be to do with my headaches (my neuros often ask if I get tingly hands. See them in about 2 weeks.
Also, how long should indomethacin start working? I read somewhere 2-3 days but would that be for inflammation rather than my type of headaches? It hasn't started working for me yet
Thanks heaps
Beks

 Hello,
Your symptoms are probably not due to indomethacin. As an analgesic it should start working in 30 minutes. If you are not feeling any better then I don't advise you to continue taking it. Please consult your doctor as to what alternatives are best for you.
Regards,
