User Reviews for Voltaren topical

Lower Back Pain from arthritic spine and disc degeneration. Could not take oral NSAIDs and this medication has been amazing. It pretty much keeps my lower back pain in check, even playing full rounds of golf!!

gave me chest pain, arm numbness, headaches and nausea after only one use. It happened with 1 hour after using it.

My wife used Votaren Top 1% on my back above waise (both sides) where I had been given 2 shots each side by an orthopaedic dr. The dr. put two Flector Patches on both sides where she had given shots. Is this safe. I am real sore today. Thought I'd feel some relief?

I went to my doctor and was complaining about my shoulder hurting since I have other chronic health problems she felt this would be safe with my other medicines. It worked really well.

Just started 7 days ago. Seems to be beneficial.

I was in pain for 12 days after re-finishing my kitchen cabinets. I had tried naproxen,advil ,bio-flex,heat,cold everything! My doctor ask me to try this, I felt releif the first day! WONDERFUL!!! I have had no noticeable side effects.

I was prescribed this cream for tendonitis of the forearm. After one application, I had extreme fatigue and chest pressure pain. I am on cardiac medications as well... Needlesstosay, I stopped taking it...

I am an RN who recently had arthoscopic knee surgery, which left my knee swollen and stiff. Have been using Voltaren noted a vast improvement with no side effects. The gel is easy to use and has helped me rest more comfortably at night. Swelling has also subsided.I do recommend this drug to those who can not tolerate NSAID oral meds.

my doctor used this on me and i felt relief right away. i suffer from "tennis" elbow and carpel tunnel in my arm and hand.

I have had neck and shoulder pain and knots forever. Also developed what I call hot spots (painful spots) all over my body. My P.A. rubbed it on my neck,shoulders and various other spots. It was wonderful to get finally get some relief. Pain is not totally gone, but it is eighty percent better. Wish it could be used for sore spots on temples and head for migraines. My P.A. is also looking into fibromyalgia on me.

was not sure what to expect when my doctor gave me this for my hands which are acting like carpole systune and bad arthris combined.My nerves were the only thought in my mind.I could not think about anything else. this gel is like a mirecal.also have bad knee so on it went there to.it really helps.

Very satisfied, better than taking a pill such as celebrex, I have significant arthritus in my lower back which is acting up due to a fall, I once broke my tail bone when I was 20 and also have a old work injury so there is really nothing I can do then to let it heal and let the inflammation subside on it's own. Seven weeks ago I had aa complet knee replacement on my left knee and I'm getting around real well with it as long as I don't overdue it in any store which most have cement floors. I knew I had arthritus in my right knee as well but not enough to get all excited about so this cream has really helped that a lot, I got relief after the first use of it. Thank God they have come out with something like this.Read More Read Less

Just got a sample from doc today for neck pain. Worked to relieve pain in about 5 minutes (4 grams total to cervical spine). So far I'm happy with it and it's better than having to ingest meds.

I have Fibromyalgia and now an onset of rehumoid arthritis in my hands and feet. The side effects scare me to death with this cream. I have been on narcotics for a few years . This cream doesn't seem to do anything for me. I don't feel a dif. Like I said , side effects scare me into NOT using it. A commet for stressed53----ask your Dr. about fibromyalgia. I went crazy to the point of suicide a few years ago cause I thought the ungodly pain was in my head and all the Dr. says it was .I had NO life, NONE, ZERO, and my b.f. of 12 years left me . Thus the suicide. Till I found my "angel" Dr. I am a new person now being treated for Fibro. It doesn't go away and no cure but you CAN control it. Ask your Dr. Then go to another one if he turns you down. Find one that believes in Fibro. And believes in YOU. Good luck. Read More Read Less

no relief at all

I have been having severe hip pain for months now and only getting relief with narcotics. but i was givin voltaren to try and it worked almost right away first good night sleep in a long time. would recommand it to any one.

had back surgery, decompressive lamenectomy and discectomy on L2L3 vertebraete then had problems with degenerative disease on sacrum within 5 minutes of applying immediate relief! Recommend to anybody

My knees have been waking me up every hour or two for years. I don't move when I sleep so they would start hurting very bad. I was given samples that worked right away. I use it on my knees about 3 times a day. I have very bad neropathy in my feet and have found that I can just rub what is left on my hands on my feet and that helps too !
