Pharm. Steve ? Please

Steve:

Do you know what Diclofenac gel would be used for? I am trying to find out if Diclofenac suppositories are available in the country. I'm thinking maybe the jell is used the same way as the suppositories are. It has to be compounded it's not a normal item. A neighbor gave me from from over seas to use when my leg pain became so severe. I kid you not, the pain was totally gone within 30 minutes and no pain meds of any kind are needed until it returns about 12 hours later. I know it can't be used long term but it would sure help until surgery can be scheduled.

Thanks,

G
