Diclofenac? | Arthritis Information

Has anyone used this? I think it's generic to Arthrotec? Did it help? I saw my new Rheumy today and he wants me to start on this and get off the Prednisone. Yep, it's the Arthrotec generic. Sunam posted about it a few days ago, but didn't get much of a response. I was on it and it helped, but after awhile it wasn't working as well and I moved on to something else.

Have you been diagnosed with RA? (Forgive me, I tend to get everyone confused and can't remember the details, even if I posted about them an hour ago...) The diclofenac can help with the inflammation (and potentially take the place of the pred), but if you have RA, it won't stop the disease process.
