Sleep problems are far from the worst side effects you can get from diclofenac in particular. And would you sleep at all if you didn’t take it? Your attacks might be milder but during what I’d call a serious attack, I use a prescription-only painkiller in order to get a little sleep.
I’ve walked on the side of the foot during less serious attacks but you can trigger ankle problems that way.
And no, I don’t live in the UK.
