Avatar m tn It can be but can also be caused by other things. But it is the most common cause of swollen testicales so that is why I said it.
Avatar n tn Wghat you are describing is certainly not heart related. It is muscle or ligament related. the fact that it is affected by your breathing says that. You may try taking something like Motrin for the pain for a few days.
Avatar f tn Thanks for all the comments so far it sounds very incouraging!! So far it is helping me I think, it is for sure cutting down on the number and frequency of the narcotics I need.
653169 tn?1303446369 I use the voltaren gel mainly for my foot pain. I know what you mean, my pain is so wide spread it would be hard to have it on my body all over all the time. Now the "Nutra" product which is also topical I put on my low back, neck, feet, hands after every shower. You don't need very much and without it I ache so much more. It's about $17.00 at VitamineShoppe.com. All of it gets so expensive but I figure if I don't have to keep adding more pills it is worth it.
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.
Avatar f tn m not sure about the other one. Is there a way to know for sure? Is there any tests I could request? What if it was that third pill? And not knowing it I take it again?
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.
Avatar n tn so what did your husband give as a reason as to why he is on them? why are you doubting that reason? if you have vaginal itching, you should be seen for a proper exam and testing. vaginitis is very common in us gals, especially once you are sexually active. It'll take a proper work up to know if it's yeast, bv or just what going on causing your symptoms. if you have doubts about your husband's fidelity, follow up properly with your gyn for full std testing to cover your bases.
Avatar m tn I have a muscle pain on my shoulder that it doesn't let me sleep. It hurts no matter how I lie to sleep. I have taken some pills that are not strong enough to take the pain away. I think I need the strong stuff like diclofenac and B12 and b6. There is a pills called OKA B that I use to take when having muscle pain and it took pains away. But I've heard that diclofenac is not good to take during tx. Has anyone taken diclofenac during tx or is it too bad for the liver.
Avatar f tn m not great at handling ibuprofen it upsets my stomach. I take diclofenac for the shoulder but I have to supplement it with omeprazole - again for my stomach. It was the dr that prescribed the solpadol - for pain. But I wound up taking it (& dihydroco) like candy. Last night - it was straightforward paracetamol I took. 500mg - not combined with anything. Thanks for the advice - like you, I would just like to be able to sleep naturally. No pills needed.
Avatar n tn I have red/brown freckles on my lower legs and ankles. Have been on diclofenac potassium for a year for a torn meniscus. Could that have caused those spots?
Avatar m tn Hello. My father has a surgery appointment for 6 hours later. This is a varicocele surgery on his testicles. He had a high fever a few hours ago. I injected diclofenac 75mg in his muscle due to his request. After that, I read about something like "Do not take diclofenac at least 7 days before a surgery". This is about the risk of bleeding, right? So, if his surgeon say that it will be ok, can we trust him? I'm freaking out. Please tell me what should I do. Thanks a lot.
473384 tn?1210206242 Kitty: I too am taking diclofenac- it is now a $4 a month med. My dr. has me on 75mg 2x a day. I am only taking one though. 2 upset my stomach. I am also taking Tylenol now for breakthrough pain. Good luck with your surgery and thanks for posting. Your post helped me.
Avatar n tn I have made the decision to stay on the MST, diclofenac and valium until after the surgery and then, if it is deemed a success, I will take stock of my requirements and come off as much of them as possible.
Avatar m tn According to Novartis, no liver damage is expected when Voltaren Pain Gel is used as directed. Only 6% of diclofenac would be systemically absorbed by percutaneous use. / Translated with www.DeepL.
Avatar f tn 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. I've had the foot swell up, twice, which eventually went away upon taking diclofenac and colcrys. Pain, stinging and bone, still persist. I've attached pictures of foot. Help please. Thanks.

1069644 tn?1276928863 I think it is a matter of what the doctors can track, which is obviously not the same as what the patient experiences over time. Since it is not understood what causes fibro or what damage it causes, the effects of fibro can not be measured or monitored with time. Therefore, it is said to not be progressive. However, as you can read from patient testimonials, the day-to-day symtpoms and quality of life can be affected in a way that worsens over time.

446049 tn?1649005835 I have a little cartiledge left but a knee replacement is in my future. I had an appt with orthopedic nurse practitioner and she prescribed Diclofenac and said if still painful after 3 weeks to call and they will do a cortisone injection. I saw some You Tube videos of new ways they do the surgery now but curious if anyone here has had these new types of knee replacemetns yet?
Avatar n tn And please remember, that if you see multiple doctors, you should let them know all medications you take including anything over the counter such as aspirin. Here is information regarding diclofenac gel. https://www.drugs.com/voltaren-gel.html. Diclofenac is voltaren and the gel contains the Nsaid. This information states clearly that aspirin should not be used at the same time. Normally, blood thinners are also not used with Nsaids.
Avatar f tn Thanks Randy. My husband's hepatologist called back and said that it's fine for him to go on a short term course of Diclofenac. She said they wouldn't want him to be on it long term, but short term is OK. In checking further with my husband, the tendons that go down the forearm to the wrist are torn, so I guess reducing the inflammation is important. It sounds like he needs the medication (along with ice and rest) so the tendon(s) can heal.
Avatar f tn Arthrotec is a tablet containing a combination of diclofenac and misoprostol. Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain. Misoprostol reduces stomach acid and replaces protective substances in the stomach that are reduced by NSAIDs. Arthrotec is used to treat osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis in people at high risk for developing stomach or intestinal ulcers.
