Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. Diclofenac is an NSAID just like ibuprofen. Other over the counter NSAIDs which you can get for the pain are naproxen(Aleve) , Aspirin etc.

Ibuprofen or flurbiprofen are as good an NSAID as diclofenac. You may get topical diclofenac cream to be applied over the knee or any other pain ful site and works as good anti inflammatory.

Talk to you doctor or pain meds expert for further guidance.

I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
