Guest guest Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Cheryl thank you. It is what I was looking for. CandyCares > > There's a prescription topical gel that contains an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflamatory, such as Advil). The brand name is Voltaren, the drug is actually diclofenac sodium. It works on localized pain and inflammation, unlike the lidocaine patch which just numbs the area. > > The gel is particularly useful for areas of the body where you can't wear a patch, such as hands. I find it very useful for my arthritis and tendonitis in my hands and wrists. > > There's also a patch with a similar anti-inflammatory medication for localized use for pain and inflammation, called Flexeril. It's good for larger areas like shoulders or knees. > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
