Ouchy!!! I never really understood how painful stomach ache could be, it was a bolt out of the blue, so no warning system. I had cramping pains near my ribs, so the upper part of my tummy, and it went on for a few days,steadily getting worse so i headed to the GP's for some advice. She said it was a stomach ulcer due to me taking my Diclofenac for too long (it's been 4 years, of me taking it everyday twice a day!) and it's inflamed my stomach. I've been given some new tablets and told to try and come off the Diclofenac if possible, i'm taking Omeprazole and i have removed the Diclo, although i can feel it in my hips that i no longer take these tablets. But the pain of the stomach was so bad i'm not going back on them, even if the hips do hurt!!
Spent the last four ish days set up on a make shift sofa bed, so i can watch sky planner while i'm dying, and not move much. Finally it seems to of eased a fair bit and it's only when i've eaten something does it twinge again for a hour or so, then it will ease off again. The bonus is i've lost weight from all this, hopefully i can keep it off, then it will of been worth being poorly for. I feel like i should and could of been warned of this at any time from numerous GP's and Specialists, and Orthopaedic Consultants, time and time again i find you the patient has to find the info for yourself, and if you can't then your left in the dark! Because these people hardly tell you anything! Ok rant over, i'm just glad i'm feeling better now xx
