I suffer from chronic Gout in both my ankles and have to take Diclofenac sodium daily. Otherwise my ankles start to swell, and i am at a place in my carrer where i can;t affors to lose a week; the time it takes for the swelling to go away.
I take 50mg of Diclofenac sodium + 500mg of Paracetamol daily. Sometimes i have to take that dose twice a day.
I am worried about long-term effects of this kinda dosage. I would appreciate any opinion in this regard. If i have to get off diclofenac sodium, what are my alternatives??

if you have gout you should probably be on a different med. paracetamol (are you from europe?) is just another name for tylenol if im not mistaken, and diclofenac is an nsaid same as ibuprofen or naproxen. ask you doctor if you should be taking something like allopurinol for chronic managment of your gout with the diclofenac or indomethacin for acute attacks
