Altraday is a combination medication that already contains aceclofenac for pain and rabeprazole, which is a protective acid reducer. Because Altraday already has this built-in antacid component to shield your stomach from irritation, you generally do not need to take an additional antacid. Doing so is usually unnecessary and could affect how your body absorbs your medicine. Please continue to monitor your symptoms, and I highly recommend discussing this shooting pain with your doctor to find the exact cause and get the best relief.

While Altraday (aceclofenac) can sometimes cause mild fluid retention, and limping can certainly strain your leg further, these severe symptoms when standing warrant prompt medical attention. Following a leg injury, reduced mobility can sometimes lead to a blood clot, known as deep vein thrombosis, or worsening muscle strain. Please contact your doctor or visit an urgent care center right away for an evaluation, which may include an ultrasound, to safely identify the cause. In the meantime, please rest and keep your leg elevated.

Even a mild fluid buildup can persist if there is ongoing, low-grade irritation or joint strain that hasn?t had a chance to fully rest and heal. Your doctor prescribed ALTRADAY?which contains aceclofenac to reduce pain and inflammation, and rabeprazole to protect your stomach?to help break this cycle. Reducing the inflammation allows your body to finally reabsorb the excess fluid. Please rest your knee, avoid heavy strain, and keep in touch with your doctor to ensure you are healing well.

A skin rash after starting Altraday or Sirdalud may be an allergic reaction. It is best to stop these medicines and contact your doctor immediately for advice on alternatives.

While Altraday (aceclofenac) is keeping you comfortable, running with a severe ACL and meniscus tear can cause further joint damage, even if your knee feels stable. Surgery is not always immediately necessary, but a thorough orthopedic evaluation is essential to discuss your options. If you choose surgery, returning to running typically takes about 6 to 9 months of dedicated physical therapy. Non-surgical recovery also requires a structured rehab program. Please consult your specialist before starting running to ensure your knee heals safely.
