This medicine worked great on my lower back pain! In fact it worked so well that I could take this instead of dilaudid! The only reason I didn't continue to take it is that it is an NSAID and I can no longer take NSAID's because of my stomach.

I have fibro,ra, and massive headaches. They took my Ubuntu and gave me this. it makes me feel drunk like I have a hangover and all I want to do is sleep. I called my dr and they said it was not the medicine um hello what is it then? It's all I took and I can't function? Ginger to call again today because this is not working!!

My stomach hurt until I made sure I took it with food, then it was great. It has helped more than many different medicines I have taken over the years for arthritis and knee replacements.

I was diagnosed with a bakers cyst. Nothing OTC gave any relief. After my second day of taking diclofinac, my symptoms began to disappear.

This has not really helped. My Dr. told me it was similar to Toradol.It isn't. Toradol, works much better...

I take diclofenac twice a day for fibromyalgia pain. I can tell when it's about 2 hours before time for my next dose, because the pain is much worse. This has worked well for me so far.

I take this drug for bursitis and it works really well, it helps with the swelling and stiffness. I only take it twice a day so it is very convenient for me.

I try not to take it too much but, it is the only thing that helps my heel, I usually take it for 10 days and stop and then take it again when I can't stand the pain but, not before a few months, so I won't take it too much

I have arthritus in both knees. It has been a godsend. It helps relieve all pain in my body, not just in my knees. I know this because if I forget to take it I feel the difference immediately. I only take 1 pill a day.

This drug gave me good relief from mainly the severe arthritis in my feet, but got very painful sores in my mouth, so dr. tried me on several other meds, but nothing has worked so far. Isn't there some way you can take this medication without this side effect?
