Hello, today I took the first injection in the elbow of the drug diprophos (at 9 o'clock, that is 8 hours ago). Can I take a pain pill or am I left with only cold compresses? I also forgot to ask the orthopedist if I can start drinking collagen from tomorrow, does anyone know if I can?

The use of analgesics is permissible. It should be remembered that the use of nonsteroidal analgesics (NSAIDs) together with glucocorticoids (including Diprophos) may increase the incidence or severity of gastrointestinal ulcers, if any. I enclose materials that may be of interest: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jakie-leki-przeciwbolowe-stosowac Any modifications in therapy, including the inclusion of a new preparation in the treatment, should be introduced after consultation with the attending physician acquainted in detail with your state of health. Collagen, as a rule, has the status of a dietary supplement. If this is not necessary and it is not a doctor's recommendation, it is better to abandon the use of dietary supplements.
