"I had a ganglion cyst removed a year ago. I began to have pain in my wrist from inflamed scar tissue. The gel has helped tremendously with the pain. Some days I don't even need to wear my wrist brace anymore. Just wish it wasn't so expensive. Even with my health insurance, the prescription was pretty expensive."

"My mom was given this medicine by her 'pain doctor' for chronic pain in her ankle, hip, and knees. She said it didn't do anything for her. I suffer from stiff shoulders and neck pain, caused by sitting at a computer all day, carrying a heavy laptop and purse. I used it on my neck and shoulders since it was an anti-inflammatory. It worked for me, I noticed a significant 'loosening' of my 'tight' shoulder muscles with just one application. I'm sold! I'm gonna get mom to give it another go!"

"Works really well, but the size of the tube compared to the box it comes in is very, very deceiving. When I bought my 50g one, I thought it was going to be bigger. When it came out of the box, I thought someone had switched it for a smaller version. Just look before you buy."

"A podiatrist prescribed Voltaren for my Haglund’s deformity, which is a hard bump on the heel. It’s been bothering me for a year but became unbearable recently after three days at Disney. The warning saying not to use the gel for longer than 21 days was worrying, but I started applying it anyway. Honestly, it doesn’t help much. I’m also wearing a compression boot for six weeks and taking a prescription NSAID that’s wreaking havoc on my stomach. But there’s my deformity, hard and round and painful. I hate the thought of surgery, but I also can’t give up walking!"

"Voltaren 1% gel was prescribed for my elderly (92-year-old) friend for foot pain. She had a negative reaction to the first application and would not try it again. In desperation, and since I have a type of neuropathy in my feet and cannot fall asleep, I applied half the dosage she was prescribed. To my surprise, it allows me to fall asleep at night without the pain and discomfort in my feet. I will be seeing my doctor to get this prescribed for me! I have been looking for relief for over 5 years!"

"I was prescribed Voltaren about a year or two ago for my back. It didn't really do anything. But recently, I've been having pain in my big toe (bone), and I decided to try the Voltaren, and it was miraculous."

"I have been having a lot of pain in my knee, and I applied it and was amazed. I got up and immediately couldn't feel as much pain as before. I just put it on 1 hour ago and will reapply before I go to bed."

"I have fibromyalgia, and it does help. Because fibromyalgia is a different sort of beast, it helps some but does not knock it out. However, it reduces pain very quickly. Using more at one time or more frequently does not bring the pain down any more. It did not work that much on my wrists and hands where carpal tunnel is 'suspected,' but they are not certain what it is. Some other pain in hand and arm were helped, but not overly so."

"My pain management doctor prescribed this for hip bursitis. I have not experienced any pain relief from it at all. I’ve been using this topical gel for several months, and it was only until approximately four months later that I associated itching all over my body after I use the gel. I thought it was my imagination, but I have tested it out several times. I am not itchy in the area that I apply the gel, but it must get into your bloodstream, and I have several areas of my body that start itching at the same time. So, in addition to not feeling any pain relief, I am reacting with all-over body itching. I will now report this back to my doctor and hope to find pain relief for my hip."

"Actually bought this product today after a pharmacist from a well-known place recommended it. Got home, rubbed some in, waited a while, and actually feel worse. Is it just me, or have others experienced the same thing? Where it didn't hurt so much, hurts more, and where it hurt a lot, hurts worse. What a waste of time and money, do not recommend."

"I did a bit of gardening, and by the evening, my shoulder and arm were very achy. I rubbed a small amount of Voltaren gel on my shoulder and up my arm. I didn't think there were any problems until I went and had a bath. I noticed my shoulder and arm had blisters and spots. They were very sore. I washed the affected area and thought perhaps that would help. That night, my shoulder and arm were burning. It has now been two weeks, the blisters have gotten much better, but my skin feels so tender. I do not recommend this gel. Or, if one decides to use it, be very careful. Not sure how long my skin will take to get back to normal. I do hope it will be soon."

"I put up with pain in lower back after strain for a week. I tried the Voltaren gel before bed, it gave me relief from pain initially, but I woke up at 4 am in even worse pain. I'm not going to use it again. I'm going back to turmeric and black pepper, and heat packs and stretches."

"This stuff is rubbish, it cost me $17 for a half-empty tube, used it three times a day and doesn't work. I bought goanna cream after the tube was empty. In four days, the goanna cream worked straight away, half the price! Don't be fooled by this Voltaren rubbish, get goanna."

"This stuff is fantastic! I'm a recovering opioid addict and prefer not to take any pills. I believe I have hip bursitis; when I sleep too long, my hips start to be so painful, and I can't sleep anymore. This stuff works so well; it's almost suspicious. I'm so happy with this product."

"Spent a small fortune on the large tube of muscle and back pain to hear it does 0 for any kind of pain ever!!! I could've just put clear silicone in that tube and got the same results!! This product is absolute garbage and don't waste your money!!!"
