"I have tried 3 other medications, and this is the only one that worked well for me. All others were either too strong, causing stomach pain, or they would help for a few hours, then the pain would come back. Moving around was easier, and I had no side effects from this medication. Answer to my prayers!"

"I took this medication for osteoarthritis, and it helped so much. Surprisingly, it nearly stopped my chronic migraines too. The best thing about Zorvolex is that I do not get the ear ringing that other NSAIDs or the regular dose of generic diclofenac cause. The only downside is that I turned 65, and Medicare Part D doesn't cover it. I was able to get an exception for one year, but what they paid was minimal. Before 65, I only paid $50 a month. It tripled. I just couldn't afford it anymore, so I've stopped taking it. My ears are ringing again. I hope there will be an affordable generic soon."

"Dr. gave me samples of it, and it greatly helped me go from my walker to a cane. But I can't afford the amount of money it costs to take it."

"I am 38 years old with 4 small kids. I've recently been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my hips and most likely my knees. I was also having significant shoulder and heel pain. Within 2 days of starting this medication, I would say I was 75% better. Now, after 1 month, I feel better than I have felt in years. I am amazed that 1 medication can work this well. I have not noticed any side effects."
