Suggest Treatment For Severe Diarrhea And Abdominal Pain While On Diclofenac

Hello...Yes, I have a question...which is best with least side affects...Ibuprofen or Tylenol? I was given Diclofenac for inflammation in hip and ankle..my sciatic nerve down my right leg. I took two of these and had stomach pain and severe diarrhea. I am not going to take any more but my hip is back hurting and I was wondering about getting on something over the counter? I was also given a muscle relaxer..Baclofen which sounds like it has a lot of side effects also. I am only to take 5 MG. Should I go ahead and try that next?

Hello,

I would recommend to use Tylenol to treat the pain because it has less side effects. I also recommend using heat compresses for relief.
