Avatar f tn so it supposed to be good for everything from arthritis to Gout. I take it for pain from a permanent rib injury. It looks like we are about the same age do you mind me asking what you are taking it for? And you are right sometimes they are not very good about telling us that we should not expect results right away and it may take a few weeks for certain meds to work well. Let me know how you do. I am doing well so far but like I said it took a couple of weeks.
Avatar n tn I would like to know what other pain killers are available for osteoarthritis. I have been on diclofenac for months for osteoarthritis of the knee and degenerative disk disease. I have tried to stop it several time due to concerns that I may get a GI bleed, have a stroke.... but this seems to be the only medication I have found that helps.
Male 0 or over for the past two years, causing no problems until now, I am getting gout. I have been on Allopurinol and had two rounds of steroids and within three days of being off the steroids my gout returns. I don't drink, or eat a much meat and have increased my vitamin C to 1500 mg a day, is there anything else I can do?
Avatar f tn I had my gp check it out, she said probably arthritis and put me on diclofenac. By March the pain turned into horrific pain attacks, lasting a few secs at a time. By the end of march i got sent home from work and was told go to a podiatrist(by my boss). The first one i went to swore i was an alcohol and red meat kind of girl and said it was gout. He sent me home with an anti inflammatory and said keep the joint warm and eat cherries. By May I was getting a 2nd opinion.
Avatar n tn I went to my medical dr who sent me for an x-ray. Nothing is fractured in my knee, and she wants me to see an orthopedic doctor, for further evaluation and possible MRI. I am going to call tomorrow for an appointment. The only problem, tomorrow is Friday and I am in PAIN!! The only releif I get in applying ice. There was no recent trama to my knee. I think it is just from wear and tear of playing sports and dancing when I was a kid (I'm now 32).
Avatar f tn I'm 49y/o female with ESRF and on dialysis. I've had a foot problem for past month that podiatrist has been treating as gout but it has not gotten any better. Problem started with a patch of red, painful to the touch, just underneath the two toes after the big toe on left foot. It went from red to black and blue in middle surrounded by red skin. It is painful, stinging pain and bone pain and stiffness in two toes.
Avatar m tn Administration should not be repeated for at least three days. For the prophylaxis of gout flares, the adjusted dosage should be 0.3 mg once a day if the original regimen was 0.6 mg twice a day, and 0.3 mg once every other day if the original regimen was 0.6 once a day. For the treatment of familial Mediterranean fever, the maximum dosage of colchicine is 0.6 mg/day (may be given as 0.3 mg twice a day) when used in the presence of potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors.
Avatar n tn Hello~I am 53 years old I have been diagnosed with gout even though a blood test for uric acid came out negative. I have had terrible inflammation in my metatarsal phalangeal joint and the smaller joint closer to the tip of my big toe. I have had a cortisone shot in each. I don't drink, eat shellfish and have a mostly plant based diet. I do have hypertension however and am terrified that maybe I have hurt my kidneys because I take the lowest dose of hypertension medicine.
Avatar n tn I am extremely worried right now, because I just did a Google search and found that a study has shown that people with gout have an increased risk for cancer. Is this true? Can high uric acid levels really cause cancer? I am so worried about this. His doctor never mentioned this to him. My dad has just started to be pretty active, and he doesn't have any significant symptoms that bother him. I just don't want this condition to cause something more serious like cancer.
Avatar m tn I've had GOUT for 7 yrs with attacks every 6 months until last year. Started with 100mg allopurnol last summer. All was quite. Dec had a serious attack and after 1-month of trying Indomethecine then Prednisone I received a cortozone shot and allopurnol was increased to 400mg. Uric acid is now down to 4.6 from a high of 6.9 in Dec.
Avatar f tn Is anyone on Diclofenac? I am on it for an orthopedic condition and have been on it almost 4 weeks. It works, but am unsure how long I will be on it. As short a time as possible, I hope,...but, I was wondering....for those with arthritis (which it usually prescribed for,,).....are you on it daily? As an ongoing medication? I hope to go off it to avoid risks with prolonged usage,but up to now...it has not caused me any problems.
653169 tn?1303446369 Thanks for info. I also am intolerant of almost all NSAIDS, but did get away with taking diclofenac last winter for a couple of months so I'll probably just go back on it for as long as my stomach can handle it. I have arthritis and fibromyalgia both also. Do you know if fibromyalgia can deform joints like arthritis does? Fibromyalgia is a fairly new diagnoses for me. MY DR. wants me on Savella for it, but I've tried to take it twice and couldn't handle the side effects!
Avatar f tn My mother who is elderly and very small and frail was given oxycotin for severe pain for gout. She slept for 4 days straight and they couldn't wake her up in those 4 days. Now, we\re told her kidneys are starting to shut down. We know she was given too much oxycotin as we heard one of the doctors in the ER mention the amount she was given. I'm wondering if all that oxycotin could have had this effect on her kidneys all of a sudden starting to shut down.
Avatar n tn i have taken diclofenac for over 20 years with no side effects i have had to come off the tablets 75mg x twice day 4 days ago as I am showing some drying of kidneys from another mediation to ensure it is that one i have come off anything whih might affect me.
107366 tn?1305680375 I have had episodes of gout for more than 10 years now. It wasn't too bad up until about three years ago when I started chemotherapy for cancer. I also have Crohn's disease, and believe it and the gout mean I definitely have issues with auto-immune disorders. In the past 6 months, my Allopurinol has been upped to 300 mg, then to 450 mg per day. I also follow a low purine diet most of the time, but I admit, sometimes I gotta have a steak!
Avatar m tn You can also google 'diclofenac and liver'. I have found an articles saying the following: Data collected by the FDA shows that diclofenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), has caused serious liver toxicity and liver failure in some patients.
Avatar n tn How long after I start taking prednisone for a gout attack should i feel marked relief in pain?

634874 tn?1254430697 Gout causes problems with the big toe, but it can turn up several places. You must get on medicine for Gout. The pain will be gone in 2 days with the right medication.

2080404 tn?1643113754 m on trazodone for insomnia and anxiety, just started taking Flouxetine (Prozac) and Diclofenac for muscle aches in my legs. i don't know which one is affecting my appetite but i've been nauseous almost every day. i'm not pregant or anything like that so the meds is the only thing i can think of that might be causing it. today my eyesight started getting blurry to the point i had to change the font size on my phone because it was getting too blurry to read accurately.
