Diclofenac is a time released NSAID (non-steroidal anti inflamitory drug) Basically it is a prescription strength aleve or ibuprofen.
I was switched to this medication after I decided that I had enough of oxycodone and Oxycontin (which are very effective but also very addictive).
In my opinion, they are not very effective. I have two fractured vertibre and they don't do much for the pain.
