A total of 100 patients were included in the study and divided into 2 groups as Diclofenac and Etofenamate The pain scores of the patients were evaluated with the Numeric Rating scale and Wong-Baker scale before and after treatment Dorsiflexion and plantarflexion active joint movements were measured with a hand-held goniometer for joint function before and after treatment
