Paradoxical Effect, Diclofenac

I have been prescribed diclofenaco for arthritis. I have used it twice, thinking the first reaction might be caused by something else.After 2 mos. I tried it again (1 pill,, 100mgs.) and, again, within a couple of hours acquired excruciating muscle pain in my legs. Also increased joint pain. This lasted for about 11 hrs., and was relieved only by an injection of , first, temgesic ( synthetic morphine) which took the edge off for a little while, and then Nalbufina (this is in Mexico).My doctor does not seem to believe that the diclofenaco could be resposible and I was` wondering if anyone has had a similar reaction.

There are always people who react that way to some drugs, none of them work for everyone and some cause quite the opposite effect of what they are supposed to.
