Hello Doctor. I presently take duluxotine and diclofenac twice a day. I suffer with osteoarthritis and sciatica especially on the left side of my body. I see a great pain management M.D. about twice a year for injections. My question is could my body be so used to the two D medications mentioned that it it is time to change? Thank you. Ms. Lee B.
Hello, Analgesics should not be used for long duration. You can even consider a knee replacement surgery. You can switch to other analgesics like tramadol which is much safer for long-term use. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
