I have tried Prednisone, Indocin, Colchicine,
Ibuprofen,
and Alieve. For pain I have tried hydrocodone, Fentanyl,
and now am
taking Lyrica. One year ago I had a complete pericardiectomy at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota (we live in Texas). It went well, but I continue to have "pericarditis-like" symptoms. It is very painful and disrupts every aspect of life.
