For Ankylosing Spondylitis "The first couple 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."

For Pain "I had 2 shoulder surgeries. My doctor gave me this medication between the surgeries for pain. It worked. I did not get a "high" from it and it helped the pain. I do not like taking pills at all, but in severe cases I will use it and this did the trick."

For Ankylosing Spondylitis "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 a 5 weeks, and walking about 3 kms 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."

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 "No side effects and back to work in a couple of days. Using voltaren and some intense home treatment reduced swelling and pain dramatically. When taking this drug the faster you get moving the better it works so don't sit around hoping for miracles."

For Pain "I have osteoarthritis in both knees and will being getting knee replacement next month. This stuff is wonderful. I wish I had found it years ago. I am referring to the topical cream. I rub it in well twice day and oh, what a difference. You must be consistent with it and the relief will grow on you."

For Rheumatoid Arthritis "I tried Voltaren once yesterday on my knee. I used less than the 2 inches recommended. In a short time, my face turned bright red like a sunburn. I am returning this to the store and will not use again."

"I am a lacrosse player at the age of 57. Through xrays the Doctors said I had arthritis in my hip. I take ibuprofen after games and the pain eases up. I took Voltaren, twice a day and it knocked out 75% of the pain. I haven't taken it again and the pain still isn't there. I can run, tie my shoe without the pain. I just can't believe it."

For Pain "Why would they put fragrance in a pharmaceutical cream?? My doctor prescribed this medicine and I'm allergic to scents so I just wasted my money on this. It's not covered by the medical plan and since I opened it, I can't return it. What a waste of money."

For Pain "The only thing about the product is the size of the tube it comes in . For my knees they suggest a 4 gram dosage. Well if I use 4 grams per knee 4 times a day that's 32 grams a day! Well it cones in a 50 gram tube. Well common sense tells me I'll only get a not even two day treatment!! Need to look into a larger supply to your customers!! Thanks Hag"

For Pain "I've used voltaren rapid 25 and 50 by far the best joint pain medication I've ever had. I use it to ease my pain when gout attacks come on I take to 2 with milk or before I eat something. My partner also uses it only if her period pain is unbearable seems to help her cope.."

For Pain "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."

For Pain "I am highly alllergic to internal intake of NSAIDS. The gel has been tried as an alternative. I have had bilateral knee replacements and suffer from RSD. I thought the gel was helping the knees. However, when I was off of my narcotic protocol for a period of two weeks, I discovered that Voltaren did not work. I was sad that it did not work because I am seeking a good alternative to narcotics."

For Pain "Due to a recent accident my orthopedic doctor prescribed this for my knee swelling/bursitis condition. I'm a 51yr-old female and after 2-3 weeks of taking this medicine I was experiencing hot flashes frequently about 5X a day especially at night that wakes me up, which never occurred before. I thought I was pretty young to be experiencing this, but this website was the second place where I researched this medicine where it states "works by reducing hormones" that explains my hot flashes recently. I still need to take a few more pills and swelling has subsided in my knee but do not intend to take this long-term."

For Pain "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 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 is 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 happens 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."

For Osteoarthritis "Voltaren DOES NOT, I repeat DOES NOT WORK on my Arthritis pain located at the joint of both thumbs. Very painful and limits hand function due to the pain. I have tried for a few years just to see if it would develop into a helpful remedy, JUST A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY. Does not relieve any pain in thumb joints at all. This product is garbage."

For Frozen Shoulder "I got some of this for my wife. She has a sore shoulder, but she is also allergic to perfume. Now she has a migraine on top of it. This product should clearly state that it contains some noxious perfume which makes people sick. It probably causes heart problems too. Bad marketing for a bad product."

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 allergy to the medication with rash and low fever. Worked okay but not worth the allergic reaction."

For Pain "After seeing the foot doctor for what I described as pain off and on as if my toe was broke or spur. I was given voltaren and it seems to work at times, the biofreeze did nothing for arthritis pain, so I give voltaren thumbs up for temporary relief."

For Osteoarthritis "DO NOT USE THIS GEL AND EXPOSE IT TO THE SUN FOR EXTENDED PERIOD. I have used this for several years for hands and knee as needed. I recently used it on both hands and went golfing (Florida) For about four to five hours. That evening I had serious itching on the back side of both hands. Then my ungloved hand swelled up and was very uncomfortable. I tried Ice then Cortisone cream but it was no help. Next day I took prednisone and in two days the symptoms went away. I mentioned this to another golfer who told me he had same experience on his knee that resulted in skin coming off!"

For Pain "I found this cream to provide excellent pain relief for my bum knee. No complaints about it at ll 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."
