Been having back pain. went to doctor and was prescribed lortab. pain was getting worse and this time was prescribed voltaren (diclofenac). why? i told the doc

Improvement: If you didn't get better with the first pain medicine it is not uncommon to try something different. Lortab is tylenol (acetaminophen) and a narcotic. Voltaren is an anti-inflammatory. Voltaren doesn't carry the risk of dependency that lortab does.
