I have been prescribed Diclofenac by my doctor and the side effects have been awful - I am really, really bad tempered and hot headed and I am getting an upset stomach. Do I go back and see him?

You should. That stuff is horrible on the stomach. There are formulations of this with stuff to save the stomach, but there are also other choices if you are able to have them.

Yes definitley go back and see the docs. I take Diclofenac thankfully my side effects aren't that bad. The Doctor will probably be able to prescribe something else.

I have also been prescribed with these. My doc gave me Omeprazole to counteract the upset tummy ( do not take at the same time as the pain killers ), but I find I no longer need them, otherwise no other effects. Do not give up on Diclofenac. Good luck.

Yes, you should. There may be something else he can prescribe instead. No sense is suffering extra problems...
Hope you feel better soon!
