I loved, loved, loved this one little pill. I could not believe the mobility and relief it gave me. I started taking in 97. Two years ago my Rhuematologist warned me and mentioned he had taken all his patients off Voltaren and would no longer subscribe for me. He said it was deadly. I didnt buy into his scare tactics. I contined to take through my family doctor saying nothing. Last year I sta...

Took away the pain and allowed me to move freely. However, I have been itching like crazy!! I believe it may be a side effect and is the only reason I didn't give 5 stars for experience.

This was a "wonder-drug" for me. I was told totake it every day for approx. a month. However, being afraid to take something every day, I only took it for a week or so. This was all I needed.The pain in my knee(osteo-arthritis due to injury) was gone and didn't return for 10 months. I didn't have any side effects at all and this drug was just a miracle for me.My age at the time was 33.

It is rare to find a pill that works as well as Voltaren worked for me. I was not able to bear weight on my knee until I started taking it. Now that I've had my knee surgery, I continue to take it for my other bad knee...without Voltaren I have to walk with a cane. I know because I ran out for a week and won't do it again. No side effects for me.

Diagnosis of large synovial cyst in lumbar region of back and subsequent nerve pain led to almost total inability to walk or exercise. Use of 25 mg Voltaren twice a day, restored ability to walk. I was very thankful for being able to take this drug!

I have used this medication twice in concert with the topical spray and it has nipped the most serious pain swelling of what appears to be a gout attack while in China. It was recommended by a Chinese MD schooled in the USA and part of the Ritz-Carlton medical staff in Beijing.

I started taking Voltaren about 2 mo. ago. I did not take it regularly at first and did not notice any difference. But now, taking it twice a day I can say it's truly amazing!! I could hardly move in the morning due to pain and stiffness. Now, I get up, feel good and can move pain free almost immediately. I never get headaches anymore and love the mobility this drug gives me. I can tell immediately when it is wearing off, so be sure and take it twice a day if your doctor tells you to. No side effects at all thus far. Great stuff! Read More Read Less

At 55 years old, I took this med for a very short time for sciatica caused by bulging lumbar disk. I suffered a blockage in a coronary artery three months after having a completely clean nuclear stress test. Come to your own conclusions.

I have been taking voltaren 75mg for several years now. If I take it twice a day I have complete relief of my neck pain. However, I am afraid of the side effects so I only take it once a day. I take it at night so I can sleep and by late afternoon the pain starts coming back. So wish it didn't have all those horrible side effects.

I have been taking Voltaren for less than a month for chronic dislocated rotator cuff. It worked the first week but I now have severe black diarrhea and stomach pain. I am stopping this medication tomorrow before I wind up in the hospital.

Not worth the risk to your health. This medication caused me a serious stomach ulcer. Spent a week in hospital, needed blood transfusion. Not safe to use.
