i have costochondritis for 2 months now, i used diclofenac (150 mg daily) & glucosamine for one month now, the pain decreased but not significantly. is it a life time thing? when will it be cured? what can i take/ do to help the condition?

Accepted Answer

: Costochondritis is and inflammation between the ribs and your breastbone. When this occurs it is very difficult for it to completely resolve. Hot soaks, use of over-the-counter diclofenac gel can also be helpful along with giving it time which can be as long as 6-8 weeks.

Question 9

can diclofenac help a toothache?

Accepted Answer

NSAID: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. It should help, like tylenol, (acetaminophen) advil, or Motrin would. Get to see your dentist asap to prevent the pain from escalating to a point where it is unbearable.

Question 10

do you know which gel is better for treating pain: a diclofenac gel or an etofenamate gel?

No clear difference: There is really no clear difference. I would caution you that a recent study found no difference between these anti-inflammatory creams and placebo when used fro knee arthritis.
