If you are not satisfied with your surgery results, it is best to follow up with your doctor and express your concerns. It would be unlikely a foot injury and medications would affect your results.
It's very unlikely that Diclofenac affected the results of your transplant- hopefully at the time you would have mentioned to your doctor(s) about all your health issues including that you would be taking it while recovering from a hair transplant surgery. If so they wouldn't have prescribed it if there were potential effects it could have.
It is unlikely that diclofenac would cause you to have no graft take. There are several potential causes, some of which require treatment. I suggest you return to your surgeon for evaluation and to review preop photos and go from there.
If you are concerned about your results, see the doctor who did the surgery. They should compare before and after photographic results with you. Hair transplantation if performed skillfully and assuming correct diagnosis (of hair loss was made), will rarely fail.
If you had a hair transplant failure, you need to go back to your doctor and not second guess the cause of it. Ask your doctor

It varies depending on if you have FUT or FUE and other factors, but generally it's a few days before you can resume daily activities as normal. From there it can be anywhere from a week or two to a month before you can resume heavy exercise, etc.
Thanks for your photo and based on it you will need around 2000-2300 grafts to reconstruct the frontal part which means filling in the temples and lowering your hair line a bit. This amount will help to achieve a natural and good result with high density.
That's perfectly normal. Most transplanted hairs fall out between a week to a month after surgery, while scabs can take up to two weeks to fall. So, during this overlap period they often come out together, nothing to be concerned about unless you are picking off the scabs. However, you should...
This could take anywhere from 1000 to 2000 grafts, depending on your hair thickness, etc. which can't easily be determined unless you have a consultation in person. Average price is 5-10$ per graft for FUE, that depends on the doctor (and often larger procedures will come with a lower per graft...
