@heyjoe415 My nephrologist added Voltaren to the the list of pain relievers I should avoid. I'm down to acetaminophen only with a maximum of only 600 mg a day.

@mnsansei Maybe topical Voltaren could be an option for you - ask your docs. It is a safer alternative because less makes it to the kidneys and liver for excretion. I use mine for "breakthrough pain" when my RA meds are not enough, or when I have overdone things.

Thanks very much - it's good to know this is a drug to avoid coming from a nephrologist.

I wonder if the same applies to another Rx NSAID, Celebrex. I know a guy at the gym who takes 100mg/day for general pain in his back, neck, and shoulders. He also takes a diuretic for lymphedema. That sounds like a bad combination.
