Diclofenac to become a prescription drug

I was on Naproxen until I started my cancer treatment.  My consultant said that it could cause kidney problems which could make chemotherapy more risky.  

I am not having too many problems since apart from taking extra tramadol when things get too much.

Morning

Well the latest about Naproxen is they want me to come off it  

I mentioned in another thread that I had a 2nd hip replacement that didnt go well and I'm now on crutches permanently .

 The consultant has been trying injections to ease the pain but they havent worked so the GP put me on the lowest does of morphine.

It is helping a bit {more than the injections} so now he wants me to come off Naproxen {I'm on full dose ....500 x 2 a day!!!!}

I've been over visiting my mother who had an accident and is in hospital, I came off one of them, but am still very sore. Whether that is because of lack of naproxen  or a different house and bed I dont know

Hileena

I have had suppositories n sprays n cream of diclofenic/difene for over 10yrs..tablet too strong for my tummy.  Maybe it's different in Ireland but have never had a problem n have injections when in hospital 

I take lanzaprazole which is safer than omeprazole. My husband took this on a regular basis and it caused all his electrolytes to collapse which resulted in him having seizures. Just be careful when taking this drug and ask your GP for regular blood test. For the past 3 years i have been in constant pain, i have tried everything. I was refered to the pain clinic and discharged after 2 appointments because they decided the drugs they have given me should help, but incase they don`t my GP can prescribe me morphine patches. I take a combination of Duloxatine, pregabalin and tapentadol along with copius amounts of paracetamol, they don`t get rid of my pain and my GP is reluctant to prescribe me the patches. I hope others have better luck in dealing with thus wretched pain.

Morphine patches have issues and certainly cause constipation taking such drugs. But if you drive it is an automatic ban, so watch what you take if is that case.  Lansoprazole is a proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) in the same pharmacologic class as omeprazole. Omeprazole it does seem to have slightly more side effects and has issues being combined with strong pain killers, good information is listed with Wiki. Duloxatine is mostly prescribed for major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, fibromyalgia and neuropathic pain. Pregabalin  is a medication used to treat epilepsy, neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, and generalized anxiety disorder. Tapentadol general potency is somewhere between that of tramadol and morphine, with an analgesic efficacy comparable to that of oxycodone despite a lower incidence of side effects. It is generally regarded as a weak-moderate strength opioid. So you can see you are already taking an opioid.

I live with pain most of my working life and I found the only solution is to avoid what irritates it most rather than long term drugs to reduce the pain. Good luck!
