"I have ankylosing spondylitis in my heels, fingers, shoulders, neck, shoulder blades, hips, front ribs, and spine. It started in my lower spine 42 years ago. After recently having had a bacterial lung infection for 5 weeks, and walking about 3 km when I was well again, the pain all over was excruciating. I had a Voltaren injection 5 days ago and have been pain-free since then. No side effects at all."

"The first couple of days, this did nothing for me, but by the third day, I really noticed less pain and stiffness. However, I had to stop taking it when I started having severe stomach aches, headaches, and blood pressure spiking up within an hour of taking it."

"I have been taking Voltaren for ankylosing spondylitis for six months, and it really keeps me fully functional. If I come off it for a couple of days, my joints start to really ache. I had torturous night pain for a while as I got a spontaneous fracture in my pelvis due to swelling in my bones, and Voltaren was the only thing that worked. I've had no noticeable side effects."
