I have suffered severe lower back pain for many years. My Dr has previously sent me forsteroid injections which didn t seem to do much. Recently (2 days ago) I had a back pain episode and visited the Dr rooms. This time he prescribed diclofenac (a tablet to be taken twice a day). I was amazed to get immediate relief...I am amazed....I ve suffered for years (I m 63)...It s so wonderful to be pain free! Is this new technology . I m now wondering if there may be side effects with continued use?
Hi, Diclophenec is NSAID medicine and gives very good result on pain. You can use for few days as it can cause stomach upset, hyperacidity and gastritis. Long term use is not advisable. Take this medicine along with Omeprazole or pantoprazole medicine and with full stomach. Important is to find out the cause of back pain and go for its treatment. Ok and take care.
