Took this drug for 5 days and my head swolled up like a basketball as well as excessive fluid in other areas of my body. I stopped taking medication and 1 week later I had a stroke.

Comment:
Diclofenac was magical for me. I have arthritis in my ankle, both knees and shoulders. Almost instantly I was pain free. I have had 4 pain free months. Unfortunately I am now on a blood thinner and my Dr took my Diclofenac away, leaving me in constant pain again.
