Weight gain: 2 possible things, aside from heart and/or kidney failure are fluid retention ( known side effect of NSAIDs) and constipation ( most common side effect of opiates). Trying to focus on the last two and letting your prescriber know about your unexpected weight gain should be your next steps.
