Guest guest Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 I'm wondering now if > this isn't some kind of withdrawal too? Yes, I have both experienced and read about NSAID withdrawal. One is supposed to go off of an NSAID gradually after regular use. Sierra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 Judy, I'm more inclined to think that the Diclofenac was helping with the inflammation and thus reducing your pain. Now that you don't have it, you realize how much it WAS helping. I didn't realize how much some of my meds helped until I didn't take them. I hope you get your Diclofenac back ASAP! a > > I don't have RA, but Dercum's Disease and fibro, and Dercum's is > definitely inflammatory. > > I haven't been taking Vioxx, Celebrex, or Bextra (allergies) but have > been taking Diclofenac (Voltaren) for about a month.

I also have an appointment with a maxillofacial surgeon Wed. as my dentist found several large " masses " in my face/jaw region. He thinks they are lipomas too, but involving the muscles and he thinks they should not be allowed to remain. Well, if I have to have surgery, maybe at least I'll come out of it with dimples--at last!! Judi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 Yikes Judi! I hope you get your dimples too. These lipomas are just out of control. I hope it isn't affecting your eating. Can't you call your doc and have them call in the Diclofenac so you can have it on Monday? You my dear, go through enough and shouldn't have to suffer one more minute than you have to. How are those triplets doing? a > > > > Judy I hope you get your > > Diclofenac back ASAP! > > a > > > >Me too!
