1. proxyvon [dextropropxyphene] is an opiod analgesic which may impair mental alertness and co-ordination thus is not recommended and the demethylated metabolite of propoxyphene is cardiotoxic and in recent times this drug has become quit popular among drug addicts, so I won't recommend the same.

2. Voveron [diclofenac] on other hand has good tissue penetrability and concentration in synovial fluid is maintained for 3 times longer period than plasma, exerting extended [SR] therapeutic action and adverse effects are generally mild so can be safely used.
