Hello There.
I can understand your concern.
Are you sure you consulted a orthopedician?
you need to understand a orthopedician only regarding this issue and no one else.
because i do not understand the addition of metformin in your list of medications.
metformin is a drug which is given in
diabetes.
kindly consult a orthopedician.
diclofenac is a pain killer.
just make sure you haven't gone to a quack.
Best regards,
Dr. Anil kumar jain.
