No my doctor order cortisone injections under live xray
I can relate. I found a combo of Durolane and cortisone helped a wee bit. Not at the same time, but I would stagger the two. Eventually you won't be able to do anything until you get them replaced.
Are you monitoring your kidneys while you are on the diclofenac?

No I'm not he never bothered running those tests for me
NSAID's are brutal on the kidneys. It depends on duration of use and obviously the dose, but diclofenac is one of the worst for your kidneys. If you have been on them for any length of time get your kidney function tested.

I've been on them 4 years at 75mg 2xdaily
That is worth getting your kidneys checked.

Well he wont give me tests I even asked Friday if he would check my test levels and he said it wasnt nessary because once I'm on trt I'm on it for life. I need those levels too for what I'm running for gear too.
Possibly CBD? It seems to work on just about anything.

Finding a decent source for that where I am is pretty hard
My buddy has a vape business that has a CBD vape. I’ll send the name by PM if your interested.

@The Old Guy thanks that would be great.
He shouldn't deny you a basic blood panel if you are on NSAID's. That would be irresponsible. How is your BP?

My BP is good . What I was told by my doctor was unnecessary tests cost the provience millions a year.
They do, but knowing if NSAID's are wrecking your kidneys is rather important. Next time you see your Doc discuss it with him.
I am a big fan and user of CBD but in my experience it does little for significant pain. I have tried everything from 25 mg up to 75 mg per day (which gets expensive). It’s great for anxiety, stress, and keeping minor inflammation under control.
For something as severe as arthritis I would suggest you would need a 1:1 THC:CBD oil product, which will be available legally (not medicinal) on Oct 17th across Canada. Most provinces will have an online store.

I hope so because this chronic pain is starting to cause me depression.
