"I’ve been struggling with sciatica for almost a decade. Voltaren is fine but I think I've found even a better one. It's called Acuraflex. I've just ordered it so it will come in a few days. I've seen that it has some good ingredients so I think it will be maybe even better than voltaren. Has anyone tried it yet? cheers"

"I have 4 lumbar discs bulging, however the L5-S1 is impinging on my nerve root. Complete pain, couldn't stand, couldn't walk, couldn't sit, etc. I was in misery. Finally, they put me on something other than ibuprofen, and it was Voltaren generic! It took about 1 week to kick in and work, but I honestly can say I take this in the morning along with my muscle relaxer and gabapentin, and I am pain-free and gained back 6 hours of my life! It only works for me so far for 6 hours, and by the time I can take the next dosage, I am back in the worst pain ever. Hopefully, every day I can gain a little bit more than 6 hours of my life back!"

"If you apply the ointment/gel cover it up with a piece Saranwrap - no need to wait for it to dry and it can incubate that way without anybody noticing. Try to do this when you feel the first signs of sciatica...that'll do the trick."

"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."
