After one tablet and two hours the pain was gone and didn't reappear until the next year but then it was a leg .... I had the diclofenac tablets left over took one it released my leg within a few hours .... What caused mine and what it is is irrelevant its just pointing out the effect of an antiinflamatory drug . And may be worth thinking about if the pain gets too bad
NO NO NO NO AND NO!
When I say being locked up it's like your joints are locked in one place and if you try to move them its agony, my toes and fingers are usually where the first signs start. At the moment I cant open or close the two middle fingers of my right hand, and if I try to move my right elbow, wrist, or shoulder in any position it feels like it's being forced the wrong way.
I cant explain it much more than that really, if I leave it still it doesn't hurt much but as soon as I move or if I lay in bed on my right side it's like someone is pulling everything in the wrong direction.
Jim I've been here before and appreciate you concern but I just wanted to update this thread and not get into a debate about anti inflammatories, so please take you drugs and hugs and get down in the cellar and see if you can find YOYO he needs you more than me I'm sure
