Main Reasons Doctors Avoid Diclofenac

Cardiovascular Risks: Diclofenac increases the risk of serious heart attacks, strokes, heart failure, and blood clots at a rate comparable to specialized COX-2 inhibitors (like rofecoxib). Studies show these cardiovascular risks can begin within just 30 days of starting the medication, even at low doses.

Gastrointestinal Complications: Like other NSAIDs, it blocks protective prostaglandins in the stomach, which can lead to severe ulcers and a 4.5-fold higher risk of gastrointestinal bleeding compared to non-users.

Kidney and Liver Strain: It can reduce blood flow to the kidneys—causing acute kidney injury or worsening blood pressure—and has been linked to drug-induced liver damage.

Safer Alternatives Exist: Other nonselective NSAIDs like naproxen or low-dose ibuprofen generally offer a more favorable cardiovascular and safety profile for long-term use. Guidance from organizations like the GOV.UK Drug Safety Update explicitly contraindicates systemic diclofenac for patients with established ischemic heart disease, peripheral arterial disease, or heart failure.

    I'm not good enough at video games to beat sweaty's, so I like my peaceful polite PvE servers. However I like to play a lot more often than my friends and wind up playing solo a bunch which isn't as much fun. I'm also not good at making friends in game, so I'm making this post. If anyone is interested in joining up let's get together and go get looting!

     

    Of course most of the events I'm interested in are broadcast at ridiculous times of day, which makes sense given the time difference. Does anyone know where a guy might find recordings, or at least a livestream? FMHY has lots of TV links, I'm sure I'll be able to find some stuff there, but I'm hopeful that somebody more intelligent than I am is also interested and has a better plan than I do.

    Sidenote: what events are y'all looking forward to? I'm excited about Ski Mountaineering, and I think there's a Freeride Ski event as well!

    Edit: I understand that some folks have strong opinions about the Olympics, and that's alright. However, I wasn't asking for your opinion on the event in a political manner, and outside of "what events are you looking forward to?" did not ask for any opinion whatsoever. I am interested in watching them, and am looking for the best ways to do so without paying. That doesn't effect you, and frankly your opinion of the event is unwelcome and irrelevant to the conversation at hand.

    If you want to have a discussion about all of the ills involved with the Olympics, make a thread about that, in a relevant community. I agree with a lot of the negative opinions about the Games and would happily engage in that conversation in the appropriate context. This thread is about where those of us who do chose to watch may do so. Thank you in advance for stowing your opinion.

    Another Edit: regarding representing your nation, that isn't incorrect, but also absolutely minimizes that making it to the Olympics is the height of athletic achievement and many of the athletes dedicated their entire lives in order to reach that point. And you're shitting on that from behind a computer. Younger me was a very competitive skier, I nearly went to college explicitly for ski racing. So I have in that regard a pretty deep understanding of the level of commitment it takes to go beyond that level. It's nothing to snear at and say "well your president/PM/government is bad so you're as guilty as they are" and doing so reflects more on you than the athlete.
