From diclos to naproxen

tjt6768

The diclofenac has been playing silly buggers with the stomach recently, so asked to change.
Never had naproxen, any good?
I've had almost all the others in the past.

I know the forum motto...
We're all different etc etc haha.
Just wondered about experiences with it.

its a wonderful day here in Leeds... Hope it's good where you are..

Right, chemist time..

Done both. Both worked well for me. Both messed my stomach up but that was before the stomach protectors. I'll think positive thoughts for you.

I have been taken Naproxen for two weeks now and have been ok on them. They are helping with inflammation a little time will tell if they will work for me.I could not use diclofenic as it upset my stomach.Good Luck Tony hope they help you.

I was on naproxen but got taken off it as it was actually giving me an upset tummy more than anything else lol.

I also got a steriod injection into the bum on Tuesday! :oops:
Very embarrsing considering that I was wearing Christmas knickers! lol

Haven't been very well myself over the past few weeks, but slowly improving again.

dreamdaisy

Nap? Rather than tackle the inflammation it gave me oral thrush. :roll: Good luck mate, I hope they help. Do you have a stomach protector? DD

Hubby takes Naproxen when he has gout without any side effects, but I avoid it as the only time I took it, it gave me a red scaly rash and I looked like something from a monster movie.

Hope the pain eases up soon.

Gave me panic attacks!!!! However, I gather this is very unusual, so give it a go.

I tried diclo which was ok, tried naproxen which worked better for me. Am unable to take nsaids at all now due to kidney issues.

We are all different, hope they work for you.

lynnmick

i take them when my pain is really bad, they work fine for me, but i've not been prescribed any stomach protectors so i might ask about that.
Give them a go, they reckon that they are one of the safest to use regarding side effects apparently.
