I used Diclofenac for months when I was suffering an anal fissure, also after various surgical procedures. It worked very well as a painkiller. Didn't know it was a muscle relaxant - never heard that before. However eventually, Diclofenac began to upset my stomach and make me feel queasy and nauseous, so I can't use it any more. Even over-the-counter Ibuprofen now has this effect on me, so I seem to have developed an intolerance to NSAIDs. It's one painkiller I can no longer use. Luckily the fissure is now cured (I had the LIS operation) so I don't need to take it.
