Walt commented that he used 'Aleve' to mitigate the pain of sciatica.
I checked it out; it is a form of pseudoephredine. OK as a general purpose
pain-killer.
What is usually prescribed here goes under the common name of Voltaren.
Actually is Diclofenac sodium, 75mg tabs. Very good, and one tablet kills
the pain and disability for maybe a whole day.
BUT it is very dangerous. It put me in hospital with a suspected heart attack
in the middle of the night, some days after I took the last previous tab. It
nearly killed a friend of mine as it perforated his stomach and he developed
peritonitis. The heart doctors who investigated me said that Voltaren
ALWAYS causes bleeding and damage in the stomach. Only very
reluctantly will I use it again.
