Cataflam (diclofenac)

[huskerfanfl]

I had an appointment with the MA outpatient clinic yesterday. Discussed my joint and back pain. The result was that my doctor issued me a prescription for diclofenac NA (50 mg). I am just looking for something that will take the edge off and enable me to function. Has anyone had any luck with this medicine?

I have been taking them for years. I guess it helps. Suppost to take 2 a day. Do one a day. Does not help or hurt. No side effects for me. No good effects also.

Thank you for the comments. I am taking it partly for my back as well. I just started, and already feel a little better

I take that whenever I run out of Arthrotec.

Arthrotec is the same medication with a digestive tract calmer-downer, misoprostol, <http://www.misoprostol.org/> , added.

Diclofenac Sodium, 75mg, seems to work ok for me compared to other stuff that is supposed to do the same thing.

AND, it's been around since 1985 so the VA should be able to get it for anyone.

However, I can't take it without the misoprostol.

Going without puts me down in 2 days.
