Answer: Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Diclofenac sodium is a nonsteroidal antiinflamatory drug, and it is used to treat osteoarthritis(reduce pain , and inflamation).
You can use Diclofenac sodium 50 mg twice daily, for 1-2 months.
You have to take it after meals, and if you have stomach problems it's better not to take it.
