Suggest An Effective Alternative For Diclofenac
I have been experiencing joint pain all over . I have osteoarthritis in hands..i have taken diclofenac and it works wonderfully to alleviate my joint pain . I may be having an allergic reaction to this medication which causes hives (itching all over). Is there another prescription drug to relieve joint pain that may not cause hives?
