This topical gel works wonders (usually within 30 sec- to 2 mins) upon application. Relieves my knee pain immediately, until oral medication can be brought onboard. I won't be woth out it. I use up to 16G daily , 4 G q 4-6 hours. I loved it! I understand it's been out in Europe for over 15 years, only only 3 weeks in the US. What took us so long!!!

I was switched from Celebrex, which I was having no side effects from to Voltaren Gel which gave me chest pains and shortness of breath immediately! I went to a cardiologist and had to wear a Holter monitor for 24 hours and it showed it had effected my heart. I HAD NO HISTORY OF HEART PROBLEMS BEFORE TAKING THIS MEDICATION AND NON SINCE STOPPING IT.

I've had severe chronic pain in both feet and has now started in the calves of my legs, neurologist said its vascular vascular says its neuropathy, primary says neuropathy, pain management says neuropathy and rheumotologist says its neuropathy (all but the neuropathist. I was given voltaren topical gel for feet and chronic pain in knees. Since I first used its it has helped to relieve the discomfort along with taking cymbolta and oxycodone. I've been to every Dr possible and no one knows what is wrong. I woke with a left stiff ankle 8 yrs ago and have no life since; the past 3 yrs have been unbelieveable worse if possible and can't imagine what I would be like if I had no pain killers(narcotics)as nothing else has come close to relieve pain(UNGODLY)If it weren't for my family and being scared to die I wouldn't be here typing this. This is how bad I am and extremely disappointing and depressing when I go to Doctors and get the same results as being negative to every test done. Yes I am also on antidepressants but I don't feel they work either. Any one out there have any suggestions on where to go for further testings to find out what is the matter with my feet, beings no Doctor so far in NYS has found this out and I HAVE NO LIFE!! I can't do anything with this pain to enjoy life. Does anyone else feel this way?Read More Read Less

My podiatrist prescribed Voltaren for my heel spur. It has worked wonders. I am able to walk pain free. I wish this product would have been available when my mother was still alive. She had severe joint pain from arthritis.

Samples worked great, I just got my RX filled. Fast, easy to use (just rub on). No fuss, no scent, no cold, no heat just plain wonderful. Highly recommend it.
