Voltaren (diclofenac): I take this medicine once a day when I have back pain or stiff neck, it works great, helps reduce the pain immediately. Very effective drug.

diclofenac: I've tried a lot of things to help with my back pain. The latest going to chiropractor for 2 months. Things just did not get better. I called my doctor to go with some pain medicines and looked into seeing an orthopedic doctor for steroid shot. They prescribed this and I have been taking it now for 5 days and my back pain is gone. It felt much better on day 1 and each day was better and better. I take one tablet every 12 hours.

Voltaren (diclofenac): This medicine is very good for those who can take it. At first it worked very well for me. By the third refill I had developed a extreme allergy to this drug. First sign was extreme itching and severe sweating with dizziness. If this happens go to hospital quickly and stop taking the drug. When this started Doctors can't always determine it quickly enough as in my case. Second time wasn't as severe but by the third time when my reactions started I knew. So please don't take again if you get these reactions. But I do highly recommend this drug for those able to use it.

diclofenac: Finally, my back pain is gone and with no side effects. I tried everything including OTC, PT, Yoga, etc. This worked and I only take 1 pill as needed every 3 weeks or so at most.

Voltaren (diclofenac): I was prescribed this medicine for lower back pain from an accident. It kicks in quick and lasts all day. When I take it the pain completely goes away. It does make you sleepy, but it's worth it. I did not experience any stomach issues.
