Voltaren Gel Drug and Medication User Reviews
I have some arthritis pain in my Lt knee. I used the extra strength for my knee. For starters I wish it had some type of cooling monthly effect. It does not. But most importantly it does absolutely nothing to relieve my knee soreness and tightness.
I have rheumatoid arthritis and Voltaren gel has helped a lot with the painful symptoms. I usually take a naproxen and then apply some Voltaren
I LOVE VOLTAREN, IT HELPS MY NECK, HANDS AND KNEES FOR ARTHRITIS. PLEASE BRING BACK ORIGINAL VOLTAREN. I ASK BECAUSE WITH THE "VOLTAREN NSAID" YOU CANT USE BLOOD THINNERS AT THE SAME TIME. THANK YOU.
I didn’t notice much effect on the first use. But after that, it really helped relieve my knee pain, which was getting un-walkable. I apply it in the morning after my shower and it’s been amazing now on day 6 and 7.
I used Voltaren for the recommended period of 21 days on my arthritic knee. It did help immensely, though it did not totally take my pain away. If I have another major flare up I would use again. I do have one question, why aren’t women users ever shown in the Voltaren ads?
I have scoliosis, numbness in my left hand from pinched nerves in my neck, right shoulder replaced, and both knees replaced. i get relief faster than any other product I've used. I use it on my right Shoulder, Neck, and knees when the pain get bad. One tube will last me a month or more, but I usually only use 1/2' - 1" (way less than they suggest).
Volteran seems to work on my painful stiff knee well after a few applications
Used for the 1st time, and received swift pain relief.
Overcharged products 100grams costermer service did not take me seriously enough
This gel is a sticky mess and did not work for me at all.
Caused severe stomach pain and bleeding going to bathroom
After reading the information enclosed with the medication I threw it away. Why would I risk any of those side effects. You may not see results for seven days and by then may have destroyed your heart, kidneys, stomach or died. Screw that. Pop an Advil.
My fingers were stiff, painful and weak from osteoarthritis.It was bad. Voltaren was a prescription only at the time. I used it 3x/day, and in a few days, my pain and weakness was relieved. Really! It worked great. It worked on my knee and hip. I used the OTC version and it worked great too. Definitely worth trying it, l didn’t need to add any pills to my treatment either. It does come with precautions about overuse but in following the directions, you won’t need to over use it. And it’s nicely priced.
I have used this for several years, at the recommendation of an orthopedic surgeon. I have substantial arthritic pain, shoulder and knee. Voltaren significantly reduces my pain quickly so I can sleep; however, its effectiveness diminishes fairly quickly. I’ll keep using it until something better comes along.
I love using it. I put it on my wrists and arms and the pain went away. It works ok on my knees. I still would keep using it for my hands and wrists.
This stuff is over priced and didn't relief any pain. Don't waste your money!
I get the same results as I would rubbing a 20 dollar bill on my knee. It does nothing to relieve my knee pain. I used it as instructed by my doctor. Very disappointed.
Some things you need to consider… Maybe this was better when a prescription was required as it cost me $11.49 for a 50 g tube. Each application for knees or the lower body is 4.5 inch long ribbon or 4 g… Which means this tube at the recommended applications, 4, per day will last you three days. Some things that you should take into account also is if you have high blood pressure or kidney disease… You really shouldn’t be taking this stuff. And those are two very prominent medical conditions in older people which also happens to be the same people that have the arthritis problems that need the product. So in my case and in my opinion it turns out that Voltaren is not only ridiculously expensive, but useless.
The added 'fragrance' is absolutely terrible! Overpowering and very'perfumy'. Why can't they make an unscented version? Not only bad for you, it permeates the skin and won't wash off, has ruined my clothes as it won't wash out. There has to be a better way people.
worthless for stage 4 arthritis on any affected joint. save your money for something that helps take your mind off the pain.extremel disappointed. might be okay for minor pain... i dont have minor pain.
