"i was prescribed diclofenac sodium tablets for emergency medicine regarding my chronic paroxsymal hemicrania. it was ineffective at alleviating any pain. i&#039;d feel a small reduction in pain level for about 30 minutes then it would spike back up. it caused my blood glucose to shoot up and i am non-diabetic. it also caused me a great deal of stomach cramps, burning pain below sternum, belching, heartburn and diarrhea. i had better response on ibuprofen and that did very little."
