User Reviews for Voltaren topical

I get the same results as I would rubbing a 20 dollar bill on my knee. It does nothing to relieve my knee pain. I used it as instructed by my doctor. Very disappointed.

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… You really shouldn’t be taking this stuff. And 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.Read More Read Less

The added 'fragrance' is absolutely terrible! Overpowering and very'perfumy'. Why can't they make an unscented version? Not only bad for you, it permeates the skin and won't wash off, has ruined my clothes as it won't wash out. There has to be a better way people.

worthless for stage 4 arthritis on any affected joint. save your money for something that helps take your mind off the pain.extremel disappointed. might be okay for minor pain... i dont have minor pain.

For some reason this product did not work for me at all. I switched from using a hemp cream to this and have been using it for more than a week, and I feel worse than before. I really hope it would work!

I was skeptical after Blue Emu didn't work, I saw Voltaren ad on TV, I have arthritis in my hands for 2 years, within minutes my hands loosened up, so I put it on my 3 month rotator cuff pain, again, the sharp pain went away. I'm very impressed with this product.

Used as directed.DID NOT RELIEVE MY PAIN

Total overpriced and ad hyped waste of money. Very ineffective results.

This medication is great. I use it on my shoulder and back of neck. It really works for the pain and helps my arm movement and neck.

I put it on my knees and lower lumbar area. Works in about 10 minutes. It is the best gel/cream for pain and soreness relief I have ever tried. Wish I would have known about this gel years ago.

I suffer from heart failure so I cannot use any anti-inflammatory tablets and I suffer severe muscle spasms, nerve pain and burning in my neck and shoulders that limited the movement in my arms this rub has been a life saver on very bad days I use very little about the size of a garden pea on the top of each shoulder and within half an hour the pain has eased and I can move my arms normally it is great at reducing the inflammation which in turn stops the muscle spasm.if you have any condition that prevents you using tablets ask your GP if you can try it, also I would certainly recommend using this over tablets for anyone to avoid possible heart problems, but don't use it as a body lotion it is a powerful rub.Read More Read Less

After a partial meniscus removal I was left with much swelling and pain in my right knee. After two weeks, Voltaren seems to be significantly helping with both problems. No side effects of any kind.

I have used this for 6 years along with other nsaids for degenerative disks, OA of knee, shoulder and spinal arthritis. It really gets me over the roughest days. Sometimes I can go one or two weeks without using and it lasts a very long time. Better than more pills in the stomach and going through kidneys and liver any day.

I have been using this topical for over 1 year and have had zero inprovement. Am now incapable of writing for more than 15 minutes; and I am a student.My GP refuses to prescribe anything but this and Ibruprofen. Too bad he doesn't have to live with this.

I have used this before for elbow tendonitis with NO relief. I didn't remember that I had the same non-result before, so failed to tell my dr., but when I see him again,. I'll let him know. He injected something that helped for about 4-6 weeks, but now the problem has returned in that elbow and, now, the other one! Wish we could figure out the cause and solve the problem.

this gel is god sent for me, it stops the lower back and neck pain right away for at least 6 to 8 hours. after depending on narcotic pain killers for a while i am glad i found this medication. it works better than hydrocodone 10-325 for me and i get no side effects from it like i do when i take narcotics. hope this helps , try it and you will see for yourself

I have fibro and my lower back and knee problems. It takes the edge off which makes able to function lil better. No side effects absorbs quickly non greasy smells clean.

I am on an anticoagulant so I can NOT take oral anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen, etc. My doctor allows a small dose of this gel. For me, its a God send. I use in on my old football knees and shoulder. I find it very effective. The smell is clean and pleasant.

I have been using this for several years. It has helped tremendously with pain. I use it for my knees, hands, feet and lower back also as it has disc degenerative disease and it helps.

I used it for 2 weeks for arthritis in my thumb. It did absolutely nothing. One doctor told me that it doesn't absorb very well and could not get to the joint because of too much muscle mass. He told me to use Aspercream instead....
