I have back pain, which I think is coming from the sacroiliac joint. I have a powerlifting comp in a few weeks and want to take diclofenac sodium before I lift. But I can't find any information on how long the tablets take to 'kick in'?

The sodium version is slow release, so its no good taking it just before!

Anyone any idea? Or have experience of taking it? All advice appreciated.

How do Malc. I used to take 100mg 2 hours before and 100 1 hour before starting lifting as advised by an orthopaedic surgeon at the time. I haven't done this for probably 10 years and I'm still alive, although I will eventually die.

Hi Andy, thanks for the reply.

I will take 100mg 2 hours before then. I also have voltarol gel which has diclofenac in it, which i will massage into the area just before I lift.

You have confirmed what I thought!

Diclofenac like ibuprofen is a one way road to addiction.

Not all roads to addiction lead there. It depends if the vehicle being driven is done so by a driver with the motivation, knowledge and ability to realise that they are going the wrong way, stop, and turn around again before driving over the impending cliff. A spare pancreas is a wonderful thing.

Codeine and cocodamol LOL How do you function!?

Surely logic now dictates taking 5 codeine and 2 paracetemol ? Grin
