For Back Pain "I was prescribed this medicine for lower back pain from an accident. It kicks in quickly and lasts all day. When I take it, the pain completely goes away. It does make you sleepy, but it's worth it. I did not experience any stomach issues."

For Back Pain "I have bulging and degenerative discs from my cervical all the way down to my lumbar. I would have it rubbed on my back on days when I couldn't get out of bed or stand up. The cream, along with my meds, would put me to sleep and then allow me to get up pain-free. It's really great after a long day."

For Osteoarthritis "Recently diagnosed with osteoarthritis in both hands. The pain was so bad that I would wake up in the middle of the night in pain, and I was not able to use my right hand at all. Doctor put me on Voltaren one week ago. So far, I have been pain-free. Still have swelling in joints, but the morning stiffness and pain is gone. Gave it an 8 rating since I have only been on the drug for 1 week. Have experienced some acid reflux and sleepiness during the day. I don't know if it is because of the medicine or another problem."
