Diclofenac is an NSAID, not a narcotic, so you should be fine.

Question. I have started taking Diclofenac 75mg x's 2 a day to try and see if a non narcotic medication may give me some relief long term with my rib pain. I have taken it for 2 weeks and at first I didn't think it was helping at all. Now I think 1 of 2 things either A) it's starting to build up in my system and is helping better or B) My ribs just happen to feel a bit better lately. I already know all the technical information on how the drug works, is released, what it's used for etc.

But if your like me, you probably want all you can to help with detoxing, so.... Try diclofenac for the aches associated with dt's if you can get it. I don't know if it will help through the night (which for me is the worst) but I know I'm able to sit at my desk all day without hammering a hole in the ground with my foot when I take it. It's a non-steroid anti-inflamatory like ibprofren except stonger. It's non narcotic and not an opiat. It will not make you feel any different (drowsy etc.

Robaxin is a muscle relaxer. I don't think it is a narcotic. The other one not sure.

does anyone have some useful suggestions for what non narcotic drug would be best for severe knee pain? My knees have been hurting really bad for some time now, although in the big picture, its a fairly new symptom compared to my nagging back thats been bad for many years. Anyways, I cant take narcotics because I became addicted to them and fought hard to get off them and it still is a struggle often for me (cravings, suffering with pain still but cant take narcs etc).

after the first adjustment the pain was worse by the end of the second adjustment it was excruciating, I called a nurse hotline and described my symptons and they told me to hand up and dial 911, the paramedics came and informed me that I should go to the er but that I would be ok if I just got a ride (very nice of them) I went to an urgent care place who prescribed diclofenac, soma and lortabs, none of these have made a dent in the pain...

Tramadol is not classified as a narcotic, however, it is as close to narcotic as any other narcotic, so if you are looking for a non-habit forming drug or something with less side effect from a narcotic, Ultram/tramadol may not be the route to take. NSAID have been shown to be effective with osteoarthritis.

Kind of like a crawling sensation and It ached badly and contiued to ache for about 6 weeks, even after stopping the cipro. Then, my fingers stared to tingle. My PC put me on diclofenac because he thought it was a nerve compression issue. After 2 weeks on diclofenac, my arms stared to feel like they were sunburned. It spread to my legs and my pc thought it was an allergic reaction. I had trouble wearing clothes. It felt like they were sandpaper and my skin burned constantly.

5 mg of hydrocodone which is the opioid (narcotic) component and 325 mg of acetaminophen (tylenol). Diclofenac is a strong NSAID (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug). These two medications are in totally different classes...one is a opioid and the other is an NSAID. Strictly based on pharmacology, the hydrocodone/acetaminophen is stronger. However, these two medicines should really not be compared in that fashion as they each work better than the other for different types of ailments.

No offence is meant here but I would like to know if the diclofenac meds were taking care of your pain, then why did you have to use the Narcotic Meds also? Or did you mean you took the Narcotics instead of the NSAID because you needed to stop the NSAIDs before surgery? I also have OA badly in both knees. I have just been Rx'd that NSAID and I only take one a day 75mg because I am afraid of stomach upset.

My neuro prescribed a drug called Cambie, which is Diclofenac potassium, although not a narcotic it totally messes me up. My neuro and my endo have not communicated yet. All of this has happened very quickly. So I just wanted to be sure it was OK for me to take the Cambia due to my low cortisol levels. I have avoided taking it after I looked up low cortisol and the inability of my body to rid itself of potassium. As to the symptoms you described I am very familiar with them.

I don't know what type of pain you suffer from but there is a drug called Diclofenac that I use along with my other medications. Diclofenac is non-narcotic it is an NSAID. It takes awhile to build up in your system but when it does I and others have found that it can be very effective especially for any kind of bone/muscle/joint pain because it builds up in synovial fluid. It may be worth talking to your doctor about it. I take 75mg’s AM & PM. You come to the Dr.

like that was going to last!). 6 months ago I started taking diclofenac (an NSAID) and apparantly it works REALLY WELL for pain b/c I am supposed to stop taking it 7-10 days before surgery b/c of bleeding issues. I stopped it last week and OMG I can't believe how bad my pain became. I could not even walk, could not get comfortable in bed to sleep, etc etc etc.

I have already consulted to top most orthopedics of kanpur but everything has gone in vain so please solve my problem. Medicines Used- Piroxicam,Diclofenac Pottassium, Tripsin chynotripsin,Aceclofenac as a part of medication.

is it safe to masturbate while suffering from epidydimitis? how long it takes to cure epidydimitis? my epidydimitis has already 1 month bt no cure shown.

Anyway, when I took it to the pharmacy, all of the medications was controlled substances, percocet, sonata, and diclofenac. I was shcoked but the pharmacist tech already scanned it and I trust the FNP. I always go to this same pharmacy and never had a problem filling my prescriptions and my disabled problem. The pharmacist was even willing to fill the diclofenac at the time. I decline and told her I would pick them up Monday when all 3 were ready and I this didn't fill right.

After many failed therapies and medicines such as Tramadol, Diclofenac, most NSAIDs, anti-depressants (Cymbalta, Zoloft), Lyrica, steroid injections (Kenalog, Depo Medrol), and Skelaxin, I believe it's time to see a pain specialist, someone who know what they're talking about when it comes to pain. I tried some of my left over hydrocodone from my wisdom teeth extraction, and its the only thing that has helped, and I didn't notice any bad side effects like many people say.

do you have access to diclofenac? it is an anti-inflamatory med with no addiction problems. i was just given a recipe for mixing it witha lotion and rubbing it into the skin to relieve pain. trying it right now. if you can control the pain with something like that, after the wd's, and even during, it would be great. if you can get them, barely cover 20 75 mg pills with water. or 30 50 mg pills if that is what you can get. let them set over night and disolve.

(neck and shoulders are the worst). I am on cymbalta 30 mg, diclofenac and percocet 4x day. Is there anything else that I can do to help the pain? Will it ever get better or will it continue to get worse? I'm afraid I will end up an invalid, feel pretty close now! Any insight will be greatly appreciated. I guess I still don't understand how this disease works. Thanks for listening.

O) tend to target the cause of the pain, like irritation, swelling and other problems causing your pain and instead of prescribing pain meds, instead they prescribe medications that target the cause, like an anti-inflammatory or NSAID class medications, this would include Diclofenac sodium or diclofenac potassium, naxprox, relafen, vioxx, celebrex, and a whole slew of others that get more difficult to spell and pronounce. Hope this helps, Ray.

but a team of pain management specialists trained in all aspects of treatment from Hypnosis to narcotics to Bio-feedback etc.Even if it costs a few dollars its your life.You ststed that the job is one you want to keep to you retire,Thats great. Then please get your pain-control in order.

If that's what the problem is, the doc can give you clonodine, to lower the pressure - it will make you feel better overall and is not a narcotic so it wont set you back. Please do go to a doc, there may be other things that he can do to help.

I'm taking Cylobenzapine 3 times daily, Diclofenac SR 75mg 2 times daily, Tramecet 3 times daily and just started Ralivia once daily today. I've tried tylenol #2 and #3, Robaxicil c 1/2, Perceset, oxycodone all with little to no relief. I attend Physio 3 time a week for heat and tens and he tries to release muscles with applied pressure. I can only stand for about 1 hour before the pain is unbearable.

That has to be tough being a chef! There are many non narcotic prescription meds out there. Maybe you can talk to your doctor about some of them. If one doesn't work, try another. Some meds that work for one may not work for another. Hope you get to feeling better soon!

The last one I went to tried to sell my 25mg of Diclofenac, like a normal person would take for backpain. Nice, coming of 80 mg oxycontin at the weekend. I have a presciption for heat thearpy at a specifi wavelength and intensity, but try to find someone who can still do that. I'm a great believer in evideced based medicine, what would your opinion be?

I didn't like how the doctors treated me like a number, wanted to stick me with needles and seemed to want to get me hooked on narcotics (even if I needed them to feel ok). I weaned myself off of the small amount of Vicodins I was taking, and I ended up finding a great PT who referred me to a Rheumatologist who diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia back in Oct. '08.

Waiting for 5 hours to see him was totally the norm. 6 months into seeing him, after being on tramadol, t3, gabapentin, diclofenac, etc, I asked for percocet. I was in emerg a few days before because of food poisoning or something; they gave me gravol and morphine in an iv. And sent me home with some percocet, and OMG I had 3 or4 hours of relief!! I kid you not, the doc got up, told me I would need to go some where else cuz he wouldnt prescribe them, and walked out of the room.

One cause is unusual conditions in the upper and middle GI tract such as that created by misoprostol and Arthrotec (misoprostol plus diclofenac), Amongst other things, misoprostol is a smooth muscle agent which both a contact and systemic mucousagogue which coats the stomach and adjacent areas with increasing amounts of mucus. This can result in everything from even slower onset of action to intact tablets being passed with stool.
