I picked up a prescription from CVS Pharmacy and did not know what it was for or why it was prescribed to me. I had another RX and thought my Family Practitioner prescribed something i addition to a sleep aid. i was in a hurry but paid for both medications. When I got home I noticed that this was a RX from the doctor who did ankle surgery on me for trimalleolar fracture. I had not expected this RX. It was diclofenec. All the info on the internet says this is indicated for knee pain, which I do not have, and in some instances for shoulder pain, etc. I think my doctor sent this to me i error as he did not indicate he was going to call a RX in when I saw him on Wednesday last week. Will this help relieve pain in the ankle joint following plates and screws in the ankle joints (all three of them). That would explain it but he did not mention this to me at all.
