Hi,

Difene (diclofenac sodium) is not advisable for long duration of time. If you take it may can cause kidney injury, peptic ulcer disease elevate blood pressure and fluid retention, etc. You may take Tramadol only after your doctor advice.

Use cold compression, heat compression and regular exercise. If symptoms not improved please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
