Having a kidney stone is painful, and this medication has the capability to relieve that pain almost immediately after taking it. But there are some bad side effects. In the past few days, I have spent a lot of time on the toilet with constipation, I have suffered from severe heartburn, the headaches do not go away, I always feel like I'm going to vomit, and I just don't feel right at all. I'm going to have to consider stopping usage.

I began taking Diclofenac Sodium two years ago and while it was very helpful for my symptoms at that time, it is simply not as effective now. It is not helping as much.
