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 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 Good day! I have been experiencing tennis elbow (tendonitis) in my right elbow for the last 6 months. It's due to weight training and heavy lifting. I've cut back on the weight but still have soreness (though not as bad.) I've tried ice a few times each day, a brace when I exercise and Advil yet I still have it. My health insurance plan at work ***** and I don't want to go see a doctor as I don't have the money. Any suggestions? Thanx!!!
Avatar n tn About 8 weeks ago my shoulder started hurting a lot and i went to the Drs and was prescribed diclofenac. I went back to the Dr a couple of weeks ago as it was getting stiffer and was given more diclofenac, stretching exercises to do and have got an appointment on the 23rd with a physiotherapist.
Avatar m tn s tenosynovitis includes rest, splinting, ice compresses, antiinflammation medication like diclofenac, and/or cortisone injection.Suregry may be required in very severe cases. I sincerely advise you to consult an orthopedician and get it evaluated. Hope it helps.Take care and regards.

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 Hello, From your symptoms,it sounds like tendonitis but ligament injury also needs to be ruled out. Tendonitis is an inflammation of tendon. The inflammation is caused by activities involving repetitive use of the tendon, overuse of the tendon or trauma. Apply cold compresses on the ankle and give rest to the part.Also keep the part elevated and use casts or splints.Take some over the counter anti inflammatory pain killer like diclofenac and apply some topical muscle relaxant on the ankle.
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 f tn So now I'm on Levaquin for 3 weeks for a sinus infection. One of the side effects is tendonitis. I already have tendonits (both wrists) and everything has failed including physical therapy and steroid injections, i was referred to surgeon now as nothing has worked, have an appoint in November. Should I take the levaquin if i already have tendonitis? The sinus infection is bad saw ENT friday and put me on levaquin.
Avatar f tn Does anyone else have difficulty with recent dx. of multiple sites of tendonitis. Going to PT for this, but not much is helping. Have had cortisone injection into shoulder to help along with 6 weeks of PT. Frustrated with lack of progress in overcoming symptomss.
Avatar n tn I have knee problems also. I have arthritis, and something called ITB tendonitis. It could be what you have, it's from overuse also. For the pain, the ice is a good idea, gentle stretching of your legs and calves, resting. Try taking Tylenol with the Naproxin or Advil. Also you can try to Glucosamine/Chondrointin pills for joint pain.
Avatar f tn I was given the drug Levaquin at the hospital I was diagnosed with Tendonitis 3 months later. I saw an orthopedic surgeon, I had a MRI which show I had Tears in my Tendons and Tendonitis. I had surgery for my Tendonitis. Now After the surgery the pain is worser, I get tingling, sharp shoting pain from the shoulder to my elbow to the forearm. Afetr the surgery he said I did not have Tendonitis.
Avatar n tn When it gets inflamed due to overuse or injury it is called as tendonitis. There are different types of tendonitis like wrist tendonitis, knee tendonitis etc. According to the types of tendonitis, the treatment varies. But in general conservative measures including resting the area (avoid using during pain episodes) and ice application will help control inflammation and reduce swelling.
