For Osteoarthritis "I have been taking Voltaren since I herniated a disc in my lumbar spine in 1999. I have had NO adverse reactions. I have had 2 surgeries, the last in 2007, and was off my medication for 8 months, and as soon as I took 1 tablet, I could feel the difference! I highly recommend this medication to all my friends and anyone who needs an anti-inflammatory."

For Back Pain "Voltaren works 100% on back pain that comes from fibromyalgia. I’ve suffered for years with horrible lower back pain from fibromyalgia muscle pain. I first use Real Time, a muscle ache cream. I rub that first, which opens the pores with menthol, then I apply the Voltaren, and almost immediately I get relief. I’ve tried about everything over the counter and prescription, and either I had reactions or no relief. This combination works 100% without burning my skin or other reactions. This, along with my prescription hydrocodone, works totally. I also use both in other areas of pain, and it works. It keeps me totally out of pain during the day and also at bedtime, so I can get a good night's sleep."

For Sciatica "May help a little with sciatic nerve injury and with arthritis, but after struggling for years to find the cause of severe rhinitis, stopped Voltaren, and now no sinus problems whatsoever. I have a reaction to all oral pain meds, and now Voltaren also. Cannot rate for others' benefit because of my own reaction."

For Pain "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."
