Voltaren (diclofenac) "Useless. To claim that its good effect lasts for up to 12 hours is a disgrace. It doesn't work at all."

"Excellent results within 24 hours, maybe less. Terrible knee pain, limping, no flexibility. Now, not quite ready for a 10K race, but happy to be where I am and very pleased with the results."

"I have been taking this for about 10 days (150mg/day) and I cannot tell that it is having any effect at all. For me, ibuprofen seems to work much better."

Voltaren (diclofenac) "Most disgusting smell ever, like real cheap men's cologne. Tried it for a couple of days, reeked so much I wasn't able to sleep. Not worth it, no more effective than using tiger balm."

"I am 51 and have lived with pain for a while. I have tried Celebrex in the past and I'm not knocking it. It's just that this medicine, even though it's only been a couple of days is great. "
