"Got this after I strained a muscle or a nerve beneath my rib cage... Was moaning, and it hurt to breathe. Ran down to the pharmacy and got this over the counter. Absolutely no pain now, with no noticeable side effects. Outstanding."

"I found this cream to provide excellent pain relief for my bum knee. No complaints about it at all in that respect. However, it does contain NSAIDs, which can adversely affect kidney function. It affected mine, and my doctor told me to quit using it. Otherwise, I highly recommend it."

"After seeing the foot doctor for what I described as pain off and on as if my toe was broken or had a spur. I was given Voltaren, and it seems to work at times, the Biofreeze did nothing for arthritis pain, so I give Voltaren a thumbs up for temporary relief."

"I was prescribed this medication for joint pain and swelling in the elbows and feet. Took for 2 months. Last week, my doctor had to take me off because I developed an allergy to the medication with a rash and low fever. Worked okay but not worth the allergic reaction."

"Some things you need to consider. Maybe this was better when a prescription was required, as it cost me $11.49 for a 50 g tube. Each application for knees or the lower body is a 4.5-inch long ribbon or 4 g. Which means this tube, at the recommended applications, 4, per day will last you three days. Some things that you should take into account also are if you have high blood pressure or kidney disease, then you really shouldn’t be taking this stuff. Those are two very prominent medical conditions in older people, which also happen to be the same people that have the arthritis problems that need the product. So in my case and in my opinion, it turns out that Voltaren is not only ridiculously expensive, but useless."

"After 5-6 days on Voltaren, the pain from my tennis elbow dropped from an 8 down to a 1 based on a scale of 1-10... 10 being the greatest pain, so yes, it works."

"I have a toothache, and I find Voltaren 75 mg works better than 100 mg. 75 mg starts to work within 20 mins for me, however, it only lasts 4 to 5 hrs."

"The gel is really good, but you need to use it as indicated, 2 or 4 times a day, depending on the strength, for at least 2 days. Then you will feel the real benefits of Voltaren."

"I use the gel, and it may take a little time to work (about 30-45 minutes), but the effect is pretty good. It will take my pain from a 9 down to a 5 (that's pretty good for me)."
