Common Questions and Answers about Diclofenac vs ketoprofen
arthrotec
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.
I would recommend an MRI of head/brain with CONTRAST, an MRI of the neck and a Neurology consult for starts.
You should post in the Neurology and Neck/Back Forums vs ENT Forum.
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 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.
Ketoprofen and tramadol should help with the sharp pain, but there is a drug called Lyrica which is used to treat nerve pain. You can discuss this option with your doctor.
First off I am very sorry you are going thru this. The first thing you need to do is find another doctor. Do you have copies of your labs, if not get them and start a file. From here out whenever you have any kind of test done, let the office know you want copies, lab work, xray, MRI whatever, you are ENTITLED to them. Did they test your sed rate and if so what was the number.
Is it ok to take ketoprofen and allpurinol. Not at the same time but during the day?
I dislocated my shoulder two weeks ago, and had an x-ray in the emergency room which showed no broken bones. I have since seen a physiotherapist, last week, where I have been given exercises and have been told to return in two weeks, to see if there is improved movement of my shoulder/arm, and to see if the pain has subsided. The pain continues to wake me at night, and today, the pain has been severe. I have been unable to do any exercises due to the pain.
Not sure if was the meds I was on at the time, methotrexate, prednisone and anti inflammatories ( Ketoprofen ). I had mentioned it n passing to my GP and she said she wanted to see them the next time it happened but I went off the methotrexate and prednisone, I could not tolerate either. 4 years later I am now on Enbrel and so far so good, wish I had done it sooner.
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.
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.
We live in Central America and are concerned about using the drops because we understand that the main ingredient (diclofenac) has been banned in other coutnries (at least in digestible form). We are also concerned that very little information is found on Exophoria and its treatment, except for what we see online and there we have found that many adults have had it since childhood and it was not corrected. Our doctor says she may outgrow it, that there is nothing more to do for now.
