Cataflam for Osteoarthritis User Reviews

"This works great for my back. I have arthritis at L4 and L5 and DJD (really the same thing). When my back goes out, I need a steroid pack, but if I catch it early and start taking Voltaren, the need for the steroid pack disappears. It also decreases my need for Vicodin, which I'm scared of getting hooked on. I also have had a history of ulcers, so I take Protonix every day. I haven't had any problems yet!"

"Works wonders on lower back pain, but sometimes needs a narcotic painkiller 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."
