Started taking Diclofenac 75 mg EC twice a day for shoulder pain. It not only eliminated my shoulder pain, I no longer have knee pain and even my bunion is less bothersome! After about 3 weeks, I thought I would reduce to once a day and then stop taking it altogether, but the pain in my knees and shoulders quickly returned. I will call my doctor and see if I can get a refill and ask if he shoul...

Doesn't stop the pain at all. Gives me indigestion at night so bad I can't sleep. Makes me constipated. All in all, I don't like this drug and won't take it anymore. I've tried twice and that was enough for me!

I have always experienced a normal bowel movement, within 8 hours of using Diclofenac Sodium I experienced explosive diarrhea. I felt like the space shuttle taking off! My stomach experienced pain and cramping. Never used it again.

Moved across the u.s and the climate was different. Experienced shoulder pain and couldn't raise arms. After blood test, I noticed severe vit d3 deficiency. My doctor didn't even look at my blood results or chart but wrote script. After 2 heart attacks, in previous years I wasn't going to take a drug that could cause another one. Stopped seeing this doctor at once. Took vit d3 and problem resolved.

I have arthritis in my neck and face area. I had severe pain from my neck that radiated to the top of my head. After 1 week of using this medication, the pain was completely gone. I had no issues with any side effects.

I had a total knee replacement and both knees kept me up all night in pain until I started using Diclofenac Sodium 75mg and It is a game changer for me . I walk and stand a lot on my job and it was painful after 8 hours and 12 hours I was miserable. I took this drug in the morning before work and after work and I feel brand new . My knee surgery was necessary but Diclofenac is always good to have for inflammation and pain .

I took this medication this morning and the side effects started up after 6 hours. I have had the same types of side effects before but did not think it was due to this medication. My doctor thought it was food allergies. The side effects are ... itchy hands, back, and head; rash or hives, rapid heartbeat, chest pain, dry mouth and ends by me sweating a lot. The reactions last about 30 minutes.

I have taken this medicine for almost 3 months now and at first I used to get stomach issues but my body worked through it. I can definitely tell when I do not have it and I do not like to be without it. It is the first medicine that has actually given me any relief to where I do not suffer in constant pain.

I have been taking this medication for years now. I made the mistake of running out of it and thought it wouldn't be a big deal. Within 3 days I couldn't walk without awful pain (knees, back, shoulder and hip). When I got the Rx refilled, after taking the first pill, I could walk , still in pain, but nothing like without this drug, it's amazing ! I take one pill per day, 100 mg.

I had been taking ibuprofen for lower back pain and tightness. A doctor who specializes in back pain prescribed Diclofenac for me. I take two 75mg per day with meals. I was surprised at how well this rid me of my pain. I was able to begin exercising and hiking within the first 36 hours. I have made this part of my daily regimen.

Really good! I have taken all the other NSAIDS for years. It is hard to tell the difference they make. I know and feel the difference with this.

I had bad side effects from covid booster. Got bilateral shoulder pain, left arm/ hand and the then the pain jumped to the right hand. Not to mention that my fingers got swollen. I got the Diclofenac sodium 100 mg 1 tab daily. With in 48 hours the pain subsided by 50% and after 7 days of daily use… no more pain. I had no side effects and only positive results. Now a rarely take it .., once every 3 months if needed.
