cookiekate, Keesan and Keetje,
Is your arthritis osteoarthritis? or Rhumatoid?
I was interessted in the post about the Diclofenac cream. It is not available in the states but apparently can be obtained through internet source. Since it is a cream, can you still use ibuprofen orally when taking it? I can't find much on the interntet about it? Are you under doctor's care with it?
