Avatar m tn Hi, There are other NSAIDS other than diclofenac that can be used in the treatment of gout. These include indomethacin and naproxen. Even paracetamol (acetaminophen) can provide pain relief in a gout attack. If your father has been prescribed a medication called dutasteride for treatment of the BPH, it is possible that the diclofenac was interacting with it and leading to his problems with urination.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn I have few more question about the medicine I am currently taking, as I have gout problem, and gov doctor issued me the following medicine which i need to take daily Colchicine Tablet 0.
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 Hi, at this age the cause of knee pain are arthritis, gout, rheumatoid arthritis, reactive arthritis, bursitis etc. As you don't have history of recent trauma, it is unlikely to be ligament or meniscus tear. Investigations like MRI, blood tests like ESR, RF, ANA etc are done to find out causes related to autoimmune diseases. Try cold compression, crepe bandage and pain killers like diclofenac etc.
Avatar f tn 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. I've had the foot swell up, twice, which eventually went away upon taking diclofenac and colcrys.
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 This past September, he noticed he had extreme pain on his right knee, and it was swollen/inflamed. After going to his general physician, he was diagnosed with gout. His doctor prescribed him with Allopurinol 100mg, and he had to take one tablet a day, twice a day. Thankfully, the medicine worked, and my dad was out of pain within the next few days.
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.
653169 tn?1303446369 Does anyone have any experience with diclofenac? If so, does it work better than over the counter antiinflammatory drugs and does upset the stomach much?
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 m tn 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 n tn How long after I start taking prednisone for a gout attack should i feel marked relief in pain?

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.
Avatar n tn He went to his doctor and was diagnosed with gout. Since then, he only had one gout-like attack (not painful at all) on the toe next to his big one, and only lasted a couple of hours. He isn't complaining about pain or anything, thankfully.. but I am still worried about gout in general.
206807 tn?1331936184 Gout is caused by excess uric acid which is a renal function.Both Hep C and interferon have been known to cause kidney problems.Your friend needs an appointment at a renal unit.
Avatar m tn I having been having problems with pain in my foot, its really bad and when it happens I can't walk. it really seems like gout but I am a vegetarian, I have been avoiding legumes and other foods known to cause gout, I do not drink beer, could there be other causes or could it be a different condition? It has been happening quite often these past few months...
