Does Intake Of Diclofenac And Methocarbamol Cause Swelling Of Eye?

I am allergic to Ibuprofen and associated meds. When taken, my eyeballs swell up for a couple hours. I was prescribed Diclofenac NA and Methocarbamol today for back pain/pinched nerve. I took one of each about 90 minutes ago and now me eyeballs are starting to swell up. i have taken Benadryl and am using ice to try to stop the swelling. There are no issues with breathing, etc . Any help?

Dear; Diclofenac is a non steroidal antiinflamatory drug. If you are allergic to Ibuprofen, you should avoid any related drug in that group. Diclofenac is part of this group so you probably had a reaction to it.
