Re: has anyone been on vol;roran gel

[Guest guest]

i use it on my fee/heelt, and it works really well if you're consistent! 

people use it all over, but i've heard it may not work as well on deeper

issues.  would love to hear how it goes for you.

Hello,

I had the Voltaren gel prescribed to me early on when my knee started to have

problems again. When the pain wasn’t too intense, it worked alright for a

period of time. It’s nice because you can apply it directly to the joint so it

targets the pain better than swallowing an NSAID and having it treat your whole

body in a systemic fashion. It also can save your GI system from havoc if you

have been taking a lot of Advil etc.

I did have some skin breakdown from it, so just watch for that. They started

doing the kineso taping after that, so I couldn’t do both the gel and tape.

Best wishes!

Sue

My experience is similar to others.

Voltaran has provided some relief from pain. My pain was associated with

tendonitis.

It is a gel form of diclofenec, which is a NSAID.

My stomach can't tolarate diclofenec or other anti inflamitories, but

Voltaran had no side effects for me.
