Diclofenac topical for Osteoarthritis "I had a bad reaction to this medicine; trouble breathing, tight throat, cold hands and feet, increased pulse, strong headache, then fatigue. It was very frightening, but did go away after several hours."

Diclofenac topical for Pain "I take Extra Strength Voltaren gel 2.32% for RA pain. I purchase it OTC in Canada. It really is about the only thing that touches the pain. My wife, however, cannot stand the smell of it when I use it. She says it makes her short of breath. I have been using Voltaren for years, and just this last June she complained loudly. I haven't used it since. Hence, I can't sleep because of the pain. I do not smell much of anything besides the alcohol when it is drying."

For Osteoarthritis "Use Voltaren original or the generic by Amneal! Don’t use Cipla’s! It causes breathing problems from harmful ingredients they put in it! Trust me! I know this because I was one of the ones it happened to!"

Diclofenac topical for Osteoarthritis "Didn’t treat my pain at all. Instead, I experienced three of the side effects. I used it for two days and developed an incredibly itchy, raised rash that I had to see a dermatologist for. I also had excessive night sweats and shortness of breath. Worthless medication."
