Generic Name: Voltaren for Frozen Shoulder (diclofenac)

Voltaren for Frozen Shoulder Reviews

"Doctor recommended surgery, but I had some Voltaren gel that I used for my knee. Worked well for the knee, so I used it on my left shoulder. After a couple of days applying it 3 times daily, it started working. I have been using it since, and it really helps. I haven't had any stomach ache problems like oral NSAIDs."


"I got some of this for my wife. She has a sore shoulder, but she is also allergic to perfume. Now she has a migraine on top of it. This product should clearly state that it contains some noxious perfume which makes people sick. It probably causes heart problems too. Bad marketing for a bad product."


"The medication has been somewhat helpful with stiffness but the pain is still present. The stomach upset and ringing in the ears has caused me to request different medication."


"Did absolutely nothing for me, the pain was the same with or without using it, complete waste of money."


"Doesn’t work I tried it for awhile and nothing. My brother in law tried it nothing. I used it on shoulder and arthritis on hand and knee nothing. Ben Gay works better and cheaper."
