Hi,
I have inflammation of a facet joint in my back, Doc prescribed Diclofenac which caused me a stomach upset and skin rash after a week, now trying Naproxen along with Ranitidine to prevent stomach probs!!Anyone experienced similar?? Bit concerned that instructions say avoid alcohol with Naproxen. BUT IT'S FRIDAY!!!!

Been on Diclofenac Sodium for well over two years now. No problems at all.

stomach upsets are a common problem with NSAIDs. You need to make sure that you take them with or after food to minimise the risk.

I can't tolerate NSAID's for any length of time. Vomiting and nausea (plus vomiting blood) quickly occurs but everyones tolerance is different.
