Can 2 Pills Of Diclofenac Be Taken For Chronic Pain In The Shoulders?

I have had 3 shoulder surgeries-1st rotator cuff repair, 2nd again rotator cuff and tendon repair and third metal joint insertion. I was prescribed 75 mg of Diclofenac 2 times per day but that dosage does not help the pain at all. Can I take 2 of them at a time. I also have arthiritis. Thanks for you time DC I can barely pay my Dr. bills now. Can t pay you.

hi!
2 tablet of diclofenac at a time is not recommended because overdose of diclofenac can cause renal impairment , liver function impairment.
you may use aceclofenac or tramadol instead of diclofenac .
warm water bag can apply on affected part.
analgesic gel / spray apply on it.
hope it will help. thanks
regards.
