diclofenac: I have osteoarthritis as well as residual pain from a serious back surgery 4 years ago. I have been taking Naproxen for four years and just could not control the pain without occasional doses of a narcotic. I cannot believe how much better I feel. I have been back out on my bike and working in the garden. Things I have not been able to do all summer. So far, I am very impressed. We will see what happens this winter.

diclofenac: I just tried this about 2 weeks ago for my arthritis pain. I am taking the generic version of this, one a day, 75 mg. So far it is working. I would like to see how it works this coming winter when I have the most amount of pain. So far, so good though.

Cataflam (diclofenac): This works great for my back. i have arthritis at l4 and l5 and DJD (RALLY THE SAME THING) When my back goes out I need a stroid pack but if I catch it early and start taking voltern the need for the steroid pack disappears. It also decrease my need for vicodin which I'm scared of getting hooked on. I also have had a history of ulsers so I take protonix every day. I haven't had any problems yet!

Cataflam (diclofenac): Works wonders on lower back pain but sometimes needs a narcotic pain killer or muscle relaxer for days when pain is more severe. Downside of this drug is that taking too much causes excruciating abdominal cramping and stabbing gas pains in the intestines. But it's an 8-hour pill, so pain relief usually lasts and it is not hard to space doses out since it lasts so long.
