I've been trying diclofenac for 4 days stopped this morning took 1 meloxicam felt sick to my stomach for a while pain all day how long do i have to wait to go back on diclofenac ?

Diclofenac can be tough if taken on an empty stomach. For now eat only soft,bland foods and take a medication like pepcid to shut off acid in your stomach lining which should result in improvement in a couple of days or so. Be sure to take diclofenac with food when your stomach is feeling better. I predict that your stomach symptoms will improve and you'll be able to resume diflofenac in 2 days
