Voltaren (diclofenac) for Pain: No side effects and back to work in a couple of days. Using voltaren and some intense home treatment reduced swelling and pain dramatically. When taking this drug the faster you get moving the better it works so don't sit around hoping for miracles.

Cataflam (diclofenac) for Period Pain: This is the best medication I have ever used for painful periods. (It actually helped my sinus pain, as well.) I experienced no grogginess and no side effects, very just soothing and complete pain relief.

diclofenac for Osteoarthritis: I have osteoarthritis as well as residual pain from a serious back surgery 4 years ago. I have been taking Naproxen for four years and just could not control the pain without occasional doses of a narcotic. I cannot believe how much better I feel. I have been back out on my bike and working in the garden. Things I have not been able to do all summer. So far, I am very impressed. We will see what happens this winter.

diclofenac for Pain: I take diclofenac for chronic back pain. I take one diclofenac every 12 hours and it is very effective. I had mild dizziness and upset stomach early in treatment but now have no side effects at all. When my back gets bad, I still take muscle relaxers, narcotic pain relievers, and chiropractic treatment (when I can afford it), but diclofenac helps me manage things so as to reduce the need for stronger medicines.

diclofenac for Pain: I have a damaged lower back from a car accident and back often spasms. I only need to take diclofenac for a couple of days and I'm back fighting fit again. It also helps with my sleep and nausea.

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.

diclofenac for Rheumatoid Arthritis: Pain and inflammation cleared up within 2 days. Took a couple hours to take effect. I had to take it for a week at breakfast and lunch, now just using as needed. I have not noticed any side effects. With some of the medications I was given, I had severe muscle cramping, etc. Stronger pain medicine had almost no effect. Previously had much difficulting moving and sleeping. Diclofenac solved this for me. So far this is a great medicine.

diclofenac for Osteoarthritis: I just tried this about 2 weeks ago for my arthritis pain. I am taking the generic version of this, one a day, 75 mg. So far it is working. I would like to see how it works this coming winter when I have the most amount of pain. So far, so good though.

Cataflam (diclofenac) for Osteoarthritis: This works great for my back. i have arthritis at l4 and l5 and DJD (RALLY THE SAME THING) When my back goes out I need a stroid pack but if I catch it early and start taking voltern the need for the steroid pack disappears. It also decrease my need for vicodin which I'm scared of getting hooked on. I also have had a history of ulsers so I take protonix every day. I haven't had any problems yet!

Voltaren (diclofenac) : I am a lacrosse player at the age of 57. Through xrays the Doctors said I had arthritis in my hip. I take ibuprofen after games and the pain eases up. I took Voltaren, twice a day and it knocked out 75% of the pain. I haven't taken it again and the pain still isn't there. I can run, tie my shoe without the pain. I just can't believe it.

Cataflam (diclofenac) for Osteoarthritis: Works wonders on lower back pain but sometimes needs a narcotic pain killer or muscle relaxer for days when pain is more severe. Downside of this drug is that taking too much causes excruciating abdominal cramping and stabbing gas pains in the intestines. But it's an 8-hour pill, so pain relief usually lasts and it is not hard to space doses out since it lasts so long.

Cataflam (diclofenac) for Pain: This is a great medication that is non-narcotic so you can get pain relief and still function. Works well for cramps as well as back pain.
