Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Thank you for the question. I shall suggest that you take diclofenacK 50 mg Twice a day alongwith acetamonophen 500 mg Bd both after meals and continue with exercises, and do hot fomentation of hands and fingers early on waking. Hydrocodone may be more habit forming or dependency making. The purpose of medication is anti-inflammatory and analgesic, whichever medicine.Take these for short course of 7-10days only and rely more on physical therapy
