Cutting out NSAID-Diclofenac

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone!

I had to stop my Diclofenac that I take 2 times a day

immediately Monday after my new rheumatologist found

out I had been taking that. I have a history from

1999 to present of abnormal elevated liver functions

and she stated this one is particularly hard on the

liver. I did not take any doses at all Monday-today.

She had stated to give it more than a day to see how

my pain did. If I have a lot of pain to phone her and

she can call it in. I am having so much pain in the

knees that I can barely stand, or see straight. I

just went outside for a moment and had to walk back up

three front steps and I could barely lift my feet off

the ground to do this. Walking is near impossible.

Does anyone else have any of these issues when having

to stop an NSAID or miss doses? I only took 50mgs 2

times a day and am really surprised it affected me so

much. As always thank you so much for all the feedback!

Hi ,

A few months ago when my rheum checked my lab my liver ezymes were

too high. He made me stop my Etodolac (Lodine)immediately along with

the Zocor I take. I was taking 500mg of Etodolac twice a day and

stopping it made my knees really hurt. Had to bear with it for a

month before I could take that NSAID again. Since haven't had any

further problem with elevated liver enzymes.
