Diclofenac for headaches

Common Questions and Answers about Diclofenac for headaches

arthrotec

Avatar f tn I absolutely LOVED this medication, i've had chronic headaches (i think from neck stiffness) for TWENTY years and I didn't have a single headache while on it, not a single one. I haven't gone that long (three weeks) without a headache in ten years. Unfortunately, it caused uncontrollable diarrhea, no matter how i took it, so I had to go to something else. My body is weird about these types of drugs, there's only a couple that i can take.

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 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 f tn that is usually what your PCP does for you. You also need to check closely the side effects for all your medications. If you must, make a chart listing each med across the top and list all the side effects of ea under the relate med. Then compare them. Doctor's are human first and then doctors and they "practice" medicine... You need to participate more in your health care.
880900 tn?1467270141 Hi folks! Have any of you used Diclofenac or Voltarin Gel for relief from general pain on thighs, etc.(and other large areas ... LOL? What was your experience? Did it actually relieve any of your pain? I've used the tablet form, but it made me sick to my stomach. Is this likely to do the same? Thanks for your help.
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 f tn However, accurate diagnosis is important through direct clinical examination. The treatment for such headaches varies, depending on the type of headache and any underlying causes. Have this checked by your doctor for proper evaluation. Take care and best regards.

Avatar n tn i have had breast tenderness for about a week now and now i have been getting headaches, the feeling of vertigo as well as not being able to get full
1130095 tn?1267369259 Ask your doctor about Topamax. I had daily headaches for years and this is the only thing that has helped. What most likely is happening is your pain is causing the headaches but the pills or some of the pills your taking are causing "rebound headaches" a lot of pain medications do that. I didn't know that for years and I was suffering. Diclofenac comes in a topical form, if that helps see if the doctor will give it to you that way.

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.
Avatar n tn Hi, I have been having major problems with constant dull headaches (only really hehind the eyes and temple) that seem to radiate from my right shoulder, and rhomboid/scapula pain for about 1.5 years now and have pretty much given up. I have done Right AC Joint, Right Scapula, Cervical, and Thoracic MRI's along with X-Rays of everything with no major findings. Had facet joint injections in C5 and C6 and epidural cervical injection without relief.
Avatar f tn For the past five years I have worked on my feet for most of the day and since then have always experienced a lot of pain in my legs and wrist. A friend of mind suggested that I use arthrotec for the pain as it has helped her. I am 32 years old and am on a birth control pill. Any thoughts on the safety of this idea?
Avatar f tn I had an allergic reaction to (apparently) a NSAID. I've taken a lot NSAID's all my life for different reasons. I also have a long history of allergies in my life (rhinitis, latex, dog and cat hair, contact and atopic dermatitis) and my grandmother was allergic to basically 90% of all drugs.
Avatar m tn t dissipated and i went to a local orthopedist, who took an xray, said theres no bone damage, and prescribed diclofenac. the same day, in fact right as i was leaving his office, i started feeling nauseous, so i stopped taking diclofenac. it was barely noticeable in the beginning, but would get worse everyday, appetite disappearing. first time i went to my family doctor i was told it probably is food poisoning because there was no fever. standard blood test came back normal.
975514 tn?1324997938 t do a study of a medication taken twice/day for 6 months on say 500 people without having to report indigestion, headaches, diarrhea, arthritis, etc etc etc etc.
Avatar m tn So I've been having these headaches... I've visited the doctors 3 times now. First they said it was a Sinus infection and they gave me steroids for it. Still no change. Then I went to the hospital, they gave me a CT scan. Nothing came up and they said everything was fine but they put me on Amoxicillin, Ibuprofen, and Vicodin. No change. Then went to a new doctor. He said that it was a tension headache and put me on baclofen and diclofenac. Still no change.

There not headaches where I cant do stuff there just annoying pressure.I have just let it go, but now Im having these sharp pains right threw my right ear.These pains feel like someone is sticking a knife out the inside of my head,when I get theses pains my vision blurs and I just need to bend over and press my hand over my ear tightly.I sometimes feel a warm or cold sensation on the side of my head to.
Avatar m tn I myself have had a headache for almost a week now, I do not know why as I never have headaches, and I take some strong medications for lots of problems with my back, and while they help that, they do nothing for my headache. I am at my wits end. So, those she takes drugs ain't gonna help her. I am glad you are a good husband and trying to get to the bottom of this. Hope this helps you some.
Avatar m tn The FDA just announced that dicoflenac gel (brand name Voltaren Gel) often prescribed for arthritis pain is linked to severe liver damage and it can happen within the first month of use According to the FDA, this topical gel has been reported to cause liver necrosis (death of liver cells), jaundice, and liver failure some cases of which have required liver transplant and some that have been fatal! Despite these horrible side effects, dicoflenac gel remains on the market.
Avatar m tn Hi, I am a 32 years old male and I have been having persistent headache and tinnitus for the past 1 month. Before this on October 2010, I was diagnosed with depression and was prescribed fluvoxamine and risperidone but I have stopped since December last year (still under session though). In January 2011 I suddenly had a 4 day fever and when it finally goes away, I had rash all over my body that is red but does not itch much.
