For Back Pain "I have degenerative disc disease and foraminal stenosis and am in chronic pain. I've tried all sorts of pain relievers from the weakest all the way up to fentanyl. The other day I was in incredible pain and someone gave me a 75mg diclofenac. I researched it and reviews were very positive, so I tried it. Amazingly, it worked great and very fast. "

For Sciatica "I have suffered with Sciatica since I was in a snowmachine accident when I was 15...that was 13 years ago. I just started on this medication this year and I can't beleive how wonderful it works. Instead of being bed ridden for 3-5 days, I can take this pill a bit before bed and I am 80% better in the morning."

Zorvolex (diclofenac) for Pain "Using Zorvolex for overall joint pain and it’s a lifesaver. It has completely changed my quality of life. Taking three 35mg per day. For those of you having trouble paying for the med.. I have full coverage PPO insurance. The drug needed preauthorized and would still cost me $150 a month. I contacted the manufacturer and since my insurance doesn’t cover more of the cost, I can get this for free every month at Walgreens. I just have to call for a code. Worth trying if you haven’t!"

Voltaren (diclofenac) for Pain "The side effects are brutal. Stomach aches, nausea, bloody stools, headache, diarrhea, increased blood pressure just to name a few. This medicine did give me some relief from pain at the cost of the side effects. Be careful with this medicine, I won't take this med anymore."

Cambia (diclofenac) for Migraine "I love Cambia. I took 4 doses of Imitrex in a 24 hour period and couldn't get rid of a migraine. Out of desperation I took a sample dose of Cambia my doctor gave me and my migraine was gone in 15 minutes. I called my doctor and had him call in a prescription for me. It was the fastest acting pain reliever ever."

For Osteoarthritis "I have taken this drug for over 3 years. Not daily, but as needed (maybe once or twice a week). I am not able to take Narcotics, so my doctor prescribed this for my neck arthritis, back spasms, and a frozen shoulder. This med took away at least 90% of the pain from all of the painful areas. I never had any of the reported side effects like stomach pain or diarrhea (and I HAVE preexisting stomach issues). This is a game-changer for me because it's the only thing that has worked."

For Pain "I’ve had fibromyalgia for over 8 years now and some arthritis, severe neck, shoulder and back pain. After a while being on pain meds and all types of other medications I’ve tried over the years I didn’t get much relief.. So I was prescribed Diclofenac I went from a pain level 9 to a 2 the first time I took it! I can do more than I could before! So glad something finally helps ease the pain"

For Osteoarthritis "I have horrible joint pain for someone my age (58), and there isn't a joint in my body that hasn't hurt at some point. I have taken more ibuprofen over the years, than I could ever count. A year ago I started taking Celebrex because I'd heard that for some people it's a miracle. In that year I have had total knee replacement (left knee), then two more "revisions" on the same knee to get rid of an infection. Just weeks ago, I came to the conclusion that Celebrex just wasn't getting the job done for my pain, and of course I did not want to take narcotics. I did a lot of research (the reviews on this site were immensely helpful) and decided to give Diclofenac a try. It has been fantastic, and I feel better than I have in years."

For Period Pain "I stumbled upon this drug diclofenac for my period pain and I am so thankful that I did. I take the 100mg diclomol and I've been taking it for almost 12 years now. My dad would use it for arthritis pain and one day when I was 18 I was cramping with my period and decided to try it and VOILA pain was gone. Nothing else worked for me from brustan (this would last like two hours and I'd be in pain again) to ibuprofen and panadol. So since that day I've always used this medicine. It even got me through my copper IUD insertion and the PAINFUL CRAMPS that came with it. I've had my IUD for two years and diclomol still works when I have period pain just like it did before my IUD. I really recommend this drug however if you have acidity issues please don't take it. I also love the fact that it's a slow release tablet and I don't need to take more than one even in a day or two if the pain is really severe. Currently on my period and an hour ago I was in pain but now the relief is so good. Girls try it!!!"

For Osteoarthritis "I have had severe to moderate knee and ankle pain from Osteoarthritis and was taking two 50 mgs of tramadol a day to get through the day at work. Then a co-worker told me about diclofenac and how it was a wonder drug for him so I asked my doctor to let me try the drug. I have taken other anti inflamitories before but they didn't seem to help but this drug has been fantastic. I have been able to work out again and it has really reduced the amount of knee and ankle pain I get. I take two 75 mgs tablets a day and have not had any side effects and I have been taking it for about 3 months. I would recommend this drug to anyone who has arthritis pain"

Cambia (diclofenac) for Migraine "Cambia is Diclofenac Potassium. This company added flavor consisting of mint and anis (liquorish flavor). Also they added aspartame which is not a good thing. They charge hundreds of dollars for only nine powders. The actual drug of Diclofenac Potassium is cheap and you get a 30 day supply. I just crushed the pill into a powder and took with water just like the Cambia...worked just as fast and tasted better, because it had NO taste. Don't be fooled by the makers of Cambia. It is just another Epi Pen scandal story."

Voltaren (diclofenac) for Pain "I got this from the VA right before it was dumped on to the public. It did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for the pain. I may have been using petroleum jelly. It's a waste of money. Thing is, the accompanying information listed on the sheet had a number of side effects listed. Somehow, they seemed to have disappeared."

Zorvolex (diclofenac) for Osteoarthritis "I am 38 years old with 4 small kids. I've recently been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my hips and most likely my knees. I was also having significant shoulder and heel pain. Within 2 days of starting this medication I would say I was 75% better. Now after 1 month I feel better than I have felt in years. I am amazed that 1 medication can work this well. I have not noticed any side effects."

Zorvolex (diclofenac) for Pain "This is an update since my last post. I took Zorvolex for 1 month. Experienced only one side effect - slight increase in blood sugar. But, it's finally under control. I can sit & watch TV. Take a brisk walk around the park. I still err on the cautious side & wear my back brace during any physical activity like grocery shopping, gardening, vacuuming, washing the car, etc. I occasionally have to stop, stretch & rest my back. I'm 63 years old & this is as close to normal as my back is going to get. That my friends, is good enough for me!"

For Back Pain "Wow. After struggling with injections, pain killers, muscle relaxants, physical therapy, chiropractic, and acupuncture.... 50 mg diclofenac 1 to 3 times a day for 1 week took out the stiffness and pain in my back completely. Almost equally as good as steroid injections. I have lower facet joint syndrome, spondylothesis, and some sciatica. I really wish it had a better side effect profile particularly on the arterial changes it can make increasing risk for heart attack and stroke!!! I've taken 1000mg of Naproxen for weeks with no noticeable difference, though it's safer side effect wise. I plan on using the quick release and or the time release diclofenac to calm down intense flareups without staying on it for long periods of time. It's too bad, the pain relief is better than percocet, which you have to be a criminal to get anymore !!! If only it was safer to take .....!???"

Voltaren (diclofenac) for Osteoarthritis "I have been on all kinds of pain medicines and have had injections in my spine and hip to help relieve the pain from my arthritis, but nothing has worked as good as this. I know there are risks with this medicine, but for the relief I got, the benefits more than outway the risk. This stuff works."

Zipsor (diclofenac) for Pain "I have been on many pain/anti-inflammatory medications to help with Rheumatoid Arthritis, Plantar Fasciitis and a torn tendon in my shoulder. It is the fastest acting and most effective pain relief I have tried (comparing to Duexis, Hydrocodone, Prednisone, Tramadol). It does not cause stomach upset like other NSAIDS and the only side effect is sleepiness but, a quick nap and pain is much better and no grogginess."

Zorvolex (diclofenac) for Pain "My doctor prescribed this for inflammation in my lower back area, I have been on it for one week. My shoulder and neck pain is gone almost completely and my back feels a lot better. As of today its been 5 days I have been on this product. The info says it takes two weeks..am hoping it just gets better. Very impressed."

For Pain "I have arthritis in my upper spine, and lower back Was taking meloxicam that helped a little. After a year and a half I started getting much more back pain, it would shoot down my hip and leg, and the top of my spine/neck hurt all the time. Went to an orthopedic, he told me I have spinal stenosis and that added to my pain. He started me on diclofenac 75 mg 2xs a day. It worked pretty much right away. My neck is totally pain free, my lower back and hip is 95% or better pain free. Granted I’ve only started taking this for 5 days, hope it continues!"

For Sciatica "I had the worst sciatica pain down both legs, now after two 75 mg tablets of delayed release Diclofenac Sodium daily, after 2 weeks all the pain is gone! Its a miracle and it also helps my migraine headaches and back problems too many to mention here."

Cambia (diclofenac) for Migraine "I have suffered from prolonged migraines for over 20 years. This is the first medicine I have used that relieved my pain. My recent migraine was going on twelve hours when it was suggested that I try this medication. Within 1 1/2 hours it was gone. I am hoping not to use it again for a while, however the next time I need Cambia and it works, I will have found my miracle."

Zipsor (diclofenac) for Pain "I've been taking Zipsor for hip pain for about 4 years. Yes, it can be rough on the stomach but a daily Prilosec is the remedy for that. Without the Zipsor I have a difficult time functioning normally as the pain can get intense from inflammation. The only trouble I've come across is my doctor reluctant to prescribe long term. I've not found another form of NSAID that works as well and I've tried many! As long as I can get the prescription and insurance will pay I will always use this product. It's a lifesaver!"

For Ankylosing Spondylitis "Works better than hydrocodone + Acetaminofen for Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) Pain. I take one 100mg Diclofenac SR and after 30 Minutes the pain goes slowly away and I can move my neck (cracks and pops). Also it relieves pain almost the whole day, best pain reliever I have found for AS."

For Osteoarthritis "I have cervical osteoarthritis extending from C5-T1. My pain had increased to the point where I had to have two radiofrequency (RF) neurotomy procedures performed to varying degrees of success. Pain returned, so tried Percocet 5/325 2x day for a month but only provided a temporary relief until the dose would wear off. I became concerned about opiate dependency so I made the decision to stop. Started Diclofenac 75mg ('551' on one side and a fancy 'R' on the other) 1xday and had a SIGNIFICANT reduction in pain after just two days. Bloodwork shows that it does mildly elevate my liver enzymes (ALT of 60) and has slightly lowered RBC, WBC & platelets which is a common side effect. Benefits outweigh the risk at this point, so will continue."

Voltaren (diclofenac) for Rheumatoid Arthritis "I have rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia and also arthritis in my neck and spine. I take the 100 mg tablet and it works just fine for me. I take it with Zantac 150 to protect my stomach. I only need 1 pill a day. If in severe pain, I will also take a muscle relaxer called Norflex and I am able to rest and function and get much needed relief."
