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 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.
5%) is another topical treatment similar to Voltaren gel (also made by Endo) that is approved for the treatment of knee arthritis symptoms. The recommended dose is 40 drops per knee, four times a day.
3) Lidoderm patches are patches with topical lidocaine, which works as a pain reliever. Lidoderm can work for low back pain among other things. Lidoderm, unlike Flector patches and Voltaren gel, is not a topical anti-inflammatory but rather a numbing medicine applied to the skin.
s goal of harmonizing technical information relates to high-dose long-term systemic therapy. As there is only little experience with topical Diclofenac preparations in the USA, the approval authority evaluates the topical preparations just as the systemic ones. 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. /

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.
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.
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.
I appreciate the additional information you sent. Nothing is ever cut and dry when it comes to gauging benefit vs risk.

This drug does not have any real side effects other than diareah (sp?) but look it up on the net so that you are educated on the drug if your doctor is not for it has only been around since '94 or so.
Stay away from the chiropractor on this one and try to see if there is a change you can make while sleeping (too many pillows?) or if you are twisting too much at work.
This drug is the same thing that is in the Voltaren gel that I've been prescribed for external use on my osteoarthritis of the thumbs. I also have cirrhosis and I did some research on the drug. My hepatologist did give me the okay to use it, but after reading this FDA warning on possible liver damage from the drug (http://www.fda.gov/safety/medwatch/safetyinformation/safetyalertsforhumanmedicalproducts/ucm193047.htm) I've been exceedingly cautious and sparing in its use.
Hi Doctor, Sorry for my English in advance, I am very nervous and worry.
I am gay (bottom), I met a stranger yesterday and we had sex.
I am very sure he used a condom in the beginning, as I double checked.
However, in the middle, he suddenly stopped and insert again, I thought he was putting more gel, but when he put in again, I found very strange and I push him away and I found he pull off the condom, the unprotected contact was only about 2 seconds and halfway in.
