Arthrotec is used to treat osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis in those who are at a high risk of developing ulcers or other complications from NSAIDs. 

The potential risks should be weighed against the benefits when considering Arthrotec. If Arthrotec is prescribed, it should be used at the lowest dose for the shortest period possible.

I have used Diclofenac patches (sold under the name "Flector") and topical gel ("Voltaren") successfully for over 1 year w/o any known side effects for fibromyalgia and shoulder reconstruction surgery. You might try the topical applications vs. oral administration to circumvent many of the undesirable side effects of Diclofenac.
